Description

 

See below for English description.

Gros Ours grincheux est de retour! Cette fois, il est grincheux à cause de Petite Puce, qui le pique en haut et qui le pique en bas, mais c'est sa façon à elle de dire « Bonjour! ».

The last time we met Bear, his cave was invaded by four playful animals, and this made him cranky. In The Very Itchy Bear there is just one creature bothering him — a persistent flea — and it's making him very itchy! Bear runs over land and sea to escape the affections of this energetic insect, but Flea won't let him go — he just wants to keep saying hello! When Bear does successfully get rid of Flea, he finds that he... misses him. A beautiful new friendship is born!
