Un Ours Pour Dejeuner!

See below for English description.

Autrefois, le grand-pere de Donovan mangeait de l'ours pour dejeuner… mais puisqu'il n'y en a pas dans le refrigerateur, Donovan decide d'en attraper un lui-meme!

Dans cette aventure etonnante, le jeune Donovan apercoit tour a tour une fourmi, un ecureuil et un chien, mais comme il ne s'agit pas d'ours, il les repousse chaque fois. Quand il tombe sur un enorme ours qui gronde en sa direction, Donovan court se refugier chez lui, mais la bete le suit jusque dans la cuisine!

C'est finalement son grand-pere qui fera fuir l'animal en le frappant sur la tete avec une poele a frire. BOING! La famille peut alors savourer un succulent dejeuner qui n'a pas de dents: de la pizza!

It’s breakfast time and Donovan knows exactly what he wants this morning! Not eggs, not pancakes, not cereal. No, what he wants is BEAR, just like his grandfather used to eat for breakfast!

So Donovan sets off to bag a bear of his own, going on an adventurous hunt through the woods, where he stalks and is stalked by an ant, a squirrel, and a dog – but they are not bears, so he shoos them away!

When Donovan finally meets a real, big and growling bear, he quickly learns that sometimes breakfast tastes best when it doesn’t have any teeth!

This story was inspired by Donovan, a first-grader in in La Loche, Saskatchewan, a Chippewan community in northern Saskatchewan that Robert Munsch visited in January, 1990. When Robert asked what the kids liked to eat, Donovan said that he liked to eat BEAR!
