Absolutely adorable! This is a very short story, making it great as that "one more please" bedtime read ask for little ones. It's a very simple premise but displays friendship and helping others superbly.
A bear has an itch and has a favourite tree; but when he goes to use the tree it's suddenly on the ground! Because the beaver has chewed it down for his dam. And so they go on a little adventure to try and find bear a new tree; after no success our beaver realizes he can itch for the bear! It's really quite cute and the illustrations are also adorable.
I like the simplicity of this story, narrative and words chosen, and the illustrations. I could see a two-year-old really getting into this one. And it has one of my favourite types of pages in it! A page with one word that is said loud and that kids will learn quick to join in on. In this case it's "crash".
A suitable read for any child under about 5 years old. It might be too simple for those older. It's a safe choice for any situation as a gift.
Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.

This is kind of a cute story. When Bear wakes up with a terrible itch, he heads to his favourite scratching tree to wait his turn. But then, before he can scratch his itch, Beaver comes along and gnaws down the tree! Feeling bad, Beaver tells Bear he'll help him find a new scratching tree. But none of the trees seem quite right at all. Will Bear's itch ever get scratched?
The illustrations are sweet and humorous. The writing is okay, but the grammar is a little loose. I'm also not clear on why Bear had to climb the tree over the river (other than to give him an excuse to fall out of it). But I like the overall themes of friendship, kindness, and problem-solving.
Overall, it's a fun little book. I'd probably recommend it to fairly young children, though, given the simplicity of the story.

A big itch leads to a beautiful friendship! I had so much fun reading this book!
I read this book in Dutch but thought I would just write my review in English, that way more people can learn about this amazing book that I would definitely recommend to all.
Meet our Bear, he was sleeping his wintery sleep but now wakes up with an ALMIGHTY itch, which I definitely recognised. Though I don’t use trees to scratch my back, haha. But this bear does and I loved seeing him walk around to the SPECIAL tree. Yep, these bears (yes, all of them) have a very special tree that they use for their itches. I had a big laugh at seeing a mighty queue of bears all waiting for the tree. It was like a line for the ladies toilet. XD
I felt for the poor bear because just when he gets his turn… the tree is gnawed over by a beaver. HOWEVER, I was also laughing by butt off, because how did the beaver NOT notice a big giant bear (and even other bears around)? I mean, you would think that such a thing would stand out especially given all the yoga poses that the bear tries to get the itch away. I was happy with beaver though. Because instead of just getting grumpy or feeling offended, he helps out the bear to find a special tree which led to many hilarious situations.
The ending had me smiling so much, it was definitely the best ending!
Oh, and I would have loved to see more of the moose! He pops up at times and I found it so funny to see him just standing there and bear/beaver not seeing him.
The art in the book was beautiful. The bear was extremely fluffy and I just wanted to step in the book to give him a hug and a scratch.
All in all, this book is highly recommended! Cute, funny, full of friendship and itches, and great art.

This is a short, cute book about friendship, helping each other and problem solving all using a bear and a beaver. Bear wakes up from his winter sleep with an itch. When he heads to his favourite tree to scratch it, it falls down. Beaver had plans to add this tree to his damn. Beaver wants to help his friend find a new tree, so off they go. After some fun and adventure, they still have not found an acceptable tree. Beaver has an idea that solves the problem. An easy to read story, which my grandson and I read together. He is a beginning reader, so when he can read most of the book alone, he is thrilled. We enjoyed this story a lot. The illustrations are cute and funny. I always like when Canadian animals are front and centre in a story. This would be a great book for kindergarten and pre-school classrooms. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book upon request. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.

THE GRIZZLY ITCH is an adorable tale about a Grizzly Bear who wakes up from his long winter sleep only to find that he has an unBEARable itch.
No problem, he thinks, he'll just wander down to a spot he knows which has the best tree to rub against to get rid of his itch.
To his surprise, a beaver has used his favorite scratching tree in his dam. The beaver and the bear then set out to find a suitable substitute tree.
To bear's surprise, his itch is finally allevied only through friendship.
This is a great story about not only friendship, but perseverance and problem solving. I highly recommend this lovely and gorgeously illustrated children's book for ages 3 to 7.
I rate THE GRIZZLY ITCH as 5 OUT OF 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and think this book would be a great addition to any children's library as well as every Kindergarten to Grade Two classroom.

This book is perfect to teach children about friendships and sharing. The bear in this story has an unbearable grizzly itch and as he heads to his favorite scratching tree, a beaver chews it down! Feeling bad, they set off on a quest to find a way to scratch his itch. In the end, bear's itch is scratched by friendship! (Beaver ends up scratching it for him). I gave this book 5 stars because it is very short and sweet and would make for a lovely bedtime story. It teaches kids about friendship and sharing, which are incredible skills to learn early on. I would definitely recommend this book to smaller children.

A short and sweet book about friendship, problem solving and helping others. The illustrations are beautiful and captivating. I love how Canadian animals (a grizzly bear and beaver) are the main characters in this book.
💡Lesson Idea:
Making predictions- Since there are a few cliffhangers in this book, it makes it a perfect read for kids to use their critical thinking skills #corecompetencies. Kids can write about what they think will happen next or share orally.

A very sweet debut from Cassanell who has a talent for lush, broad, green landscapes. When Beaver cuts down Bear's favourite scratching post, it seems that all is lost but Beaver isn't one to give up and works hard to find a solution to a problem he'd inadvertently made. What follows is an unlikely friendship between two creatures who only want happiness for each other. A nice friendship ensues and Cassanell explores and uses pace and perspective nicely.

I loved this simple tale of a bear with an itchy back. When he scratches it against a tree, the tree snaps off as a beaver had been working on it to make his dam. While they sit contemplating the problem, beaver starts rubbing bears back, soon he is working on the itch. Then bear picks up the tree and helps beaver with his dam. Just delightful.

Leuk!
"De beer viel in het water"
"De beer deed voorzichtig"
"Het was grappig dat de beer uit de boom viel"
"Het was grappig dat de boom door de bever om is geknaagd, want die is klein"
"Ik vond het leuk dat de beer heel lang in de rij moest wachten."
"Beer ging plonsen!"
"Het was leuk dat hij ging krabben aan de boom."
"Het was grappig dat hij jeuk had"
"we leerden dat beren aan de boom krabben met hun rug".
"Ik vond het niet zo leuk omdat ik het einde niet verwacht had"

Страхотни история и емоции! Илюстрациите са истинско удоволствие за очите!
Учудвам се, че коричната цена е само 4,90 лв., а е издадена сравнително скоро - през 2022 г.
С радост ще прочета и другата книга, излязла на български.

Beautifully and simply illustrated- on the surface this is a book about a bear with an itch, but its actually a story about friendship, teamwork and cooperation.

A cute story about an itchy bear and a beaver. Beaver helps bear find a good tree to scratch his big itch. My daughter and I really enjoyed this story. It’s about friendship and helping each other. We both agreed that bear is very cute and quickly became a favourite character.
