When Cub is wandering in the woods and comes upon a little bear at a tea party, with COOKIES, he can't resist. He uses his best manners and ask the little bear if he could have a cookie. He soon realizes the teddy bear is not real, and promises to eat a cookie just for him. Before he even takes a bite, the tea party hostess returns and finds Cub. She notices what a mess Cub is and tells him that he must be clean for the tea party, Tea Party Rules! Many rules follow before Cub is allowed to attend the tea party. The illustrations are perfect! I love the facial expressions of both Cub & the girl! A fun story and great illustrations make this a book not to be missed.

Cub follows his nose through the woods all the way to a backyard party--with cookies! But this isn't any party. It's a tea party. A fancy one. And the little girl hosting the party has some very specific rules about how tea parties should go. Cub is willing to go through a lot for cookies. But how much can one bear take? And will the little girl realize a friend is just as important as a properly executed tea party?

Tea Party Rules (2013) by Ame Dyckman, illustrated by K. G. Campbell is a delightfully fun read about how sometimes breaking the rules can be just as important as following them. Both Dyckman and Campbell received the 2014 Ezra Jack Keats New Author and Illustrator Award for this title.

In her sophomore picture book, Dyckman once again uses sparse, well-chosen text to tell a whimsical story of two unlikely friends. Campbell's detail-packed illustrations bring Cub and the little girl to life with vibrant colors.

Cute story about tea party rules. I love seeing the grumpy face of the bear when he learns he has to be fancy!

Funny -- the kids at storytime really liked it, as did the kindergarteners.
