    Don’t Call Me Fuzzybutt!

    Written by Robin Newman

    Illustrated by Susan Batori

    Ages 4-8 | 32 Pages

    Publisher: Sleeping Bear Press (2021) | ISBN-13: 9781534110731

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Bear is tired. The weather is getting cool and he’s ready for a nice long nap–he’s got earmuffs and a brand-new door to keep out the noise, plus a pair of fluffy slippers. Meanwhile, real estate mogul Woodpecker finds his recent homes…missing. And he follows the trail of debris right to Bear’s new front door. When he “tap tap taps” to talk to Bear about it, the two engage in a feisty exchange of name-calling and gossip with the rest of their forest neighbors. Can they patch it up–literally–before Bear loses too much sleep?

      A book for these tense times. Everyone could use aa lesson on how to deal with anger with humor and without judging.

      Reading is such an important activity in a child development. As a reading teacher, I find books that relate to their life and can influence a healthy growth, a book I want my grandchildren to read.

      My grandchildren in Ca would love to hear this book . At night they pick a book if I didn’t send them a new one that day and one of their parents reads it to them and they love it .
