What do we need? More bears! And lots of fourth wall breaking!
A pretty decent book, though I have to say the gimmick was over for me by the halfway mark of the book. I noticed I couldn't really give a care in the world about the new bears. Sure, I was a bit curious about what would be added, and if the author would finally stand up to the unknown shouters and say no.
And yes, that happened, at the end, and only because there were so many bears that the pages were overflowing with them and they started arguing. :P Not really a spoiler, you can see that the tension is slowly building up + that there are just too many bears around for them to have space.
The new bears were quite interesting, it was quite fun to see what the author created, he made the bears really come to life. With descriptions of colour, of what they do, a little titbit about them that made them special (like the one carrying a hamster). Yes, I still couldn't care about them, but I still was curious as to what the author would make now.
The art was pretty OK, not entirely my favourite style, but still OK.
The ending was a nice one, now I guess the author has to write about that. :P

I dig stories where the author is both telling the story and having a conversation with the reader. Plus the concept was cute. Bears, bears, and more bears, and when that doesn't work... Well, you'll just have to see.

For: bear lovers; readers looking for a silly book with meta-fiction elements.

An author sits down to write a book, only to be told it needs MORE BEARS!
Good participatory read aloud for young school age kids.

Great illustrations that invite examination and conversation! Also, the audience participation prompt will keep kids interested. Might try for Saturday storytime!

The illustrations are so clever and fun. I can imagine it would be fun reading this with students and getting their suggestions for more bears.

How many times have you been reading a picture book aloud, maybe to your own children, maybe to a classroom full of kids, maybe just to the people waiting on the subway platform or in line at the grocery store (they love that, trust me), only to be interrupted by some goldfish-cracker-eater clamoring for this or that or the other?
