Bookroo's summary

Bear's curiosity often gets him into trouble as he can't stop staring at others. His shyness keeps him silent, but a wise frog shows him that a smile can transform a stare into a friendly greeting. Can Bear learn to connect without causing discomfort?

From the publisher

There once was a bear who liked to stare… and stare… and STARE.

Bear doesn’t mean to be rude, he’s just curious but too shy to say anything. But nobody likes being stared at and it soon gets Bear into trouble. Luckily a goggly-eyed frog helps Bear realise that sometimes a smile is all you need to turn a stare into a friendly hello.
