Autrefois, le grand-p?re de Donovan mangeait de l’ours pour d?jeuner… mais puisqu’il n’y en a pas dans le r?frig?rateur, Donovan d?cide d’en attraper un lui-m?me!
Dans cette aventure ?tonnante, le jeune Donovan aper?oit tour ? tour une fourmi, un ?cureuil et un chien, mais comme il ne s’agit pas d’ours, il les repousse chaque fois. Quand il tombe sur un ?norme ours qui gronde en sa direction, Donovan court se r?fugier chez lui, mais la b?te le suit jusque dans la cuisine!
C’est finalement son grand-p?re qui fera fuir l’animal en le frappant sur la t?te avec une po?le ? frire. BO?NG! La famille peut alors savourer un succulent d?jeuner qui n’a pas de dents: de la pizza!
Cette ?dition bilingue comprend le texte fran?ais et la traduction en algonquin
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 dual language edition includes both the originalFrench text and an Algonquin translation.
This story was inspired by Donovan, a first-grader in in La Loche, Saskatchewan, a 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!
