From the creators of Wolfie the Bunny comes this tale of accidents, outbursts, manners... and the power of saying sorry.

Though Bear didn’t mean to break the girl’s kite, she is upset and shouts `HORRIBLE BEAR!’. But Bear doesn’t think he is horrible. Until he decides to get his own back and has a really horrible idea. Before he can carry it out, the girl makes a mistake of her own.
