Wonderful, I Love the Rhyme and the colorful illustrations!"Ryan, a little boy, brings home a Big Bold Bear from his school for the weekend.

All good things must end.The time has come when "BB" must go. The separation becomes painful and emotional for both of them. Mr. Pruthi captures it all thru his simple and age-specific rhyme and thru colorful illustrations done by a budding artist Kenny Badana of Philippines.All good things must come to an End!
