Bookroo's summary

As Halloween excitement fills the air, Big Brown Bear and the little bears dive into the costume box. In the chaos, Floppy is left costume-less. With the parade looming, will her friends help her shine? Discover how a golden gown and shared treasures transform Floppy into a queen, just in time for the festivities. Join this heartwarming tale of friendship and creativity, where every bear finds their perfect Halloween look.

From the publisher

The adorable bears are excited to dress up for Halloween – but are there enough costumes for everyone? Big Brown Bear and the four little bears can’t wait to dress up for Halloween. Everyone grabs their costumes from the costume box, but – oops! – in the rush, Floppy is knocked on her furry behind, and now there are no costumes left for her! Fuzzy says she’s sorry and offers Floppy a golden gown. Then each of the other bears shares an item with Floppy, and soon she’s dressed like a queen – just in time for the parade! Shirley Parenteau and David Walker combine cheerful read-aloud rhyme and irresistibly charming art in another story for the youngest cubs and their big bears.
