Bookroo's summary

When Bear accidentally breaks a girl's kite, she angrily labels him 'Horrible Bear!' Indignant, Bear plots a mischievous plan. But as the girl makes her own mistake, she wonders if Bear is truly horrible. Can they both learn the power of forgiveness and friendship?

From the publisher

The New York Times-bestselling duo behind Wolfie the Bunny presents a hilarious new book about accidents, outbursts, manners…and the power of saying “I’m sorry.” Bear didn’t mean to break a little girl’s kite, but she’s upset anyway–upset enough to shout “HORRIBLE BEAR!” Bear is indignant. He doesn’t think he’s horrible! Then Bear gets a truly Horrible Bear idea. What will he do next? As Bear prepares to live up to his formerly undeserved reputation, the girl makes a mistake of her own, and realizes that maybe–just maybe–Bear isn’t as horrible as she had thought.
