In this early reader, stage fright stops Bear from reaching his dream of being a comedian on Woodland Stage. When he becomes a joke writer for his friend Emmy, he makes his comedy mark after all--just in a different way than he'd imagined.

A sweet, gentle story about overcoming fear and the magic of laughter, perfect for beginning readers. 

Bear dreams of becoming a comedian. His jokes are unbearably funny, and he wants nothing more than to make his woodland friends laugh. There's just one hitch in the plan: Bear has stage fright. When Emmy, the comic hummingbird, discovers Bear's jokes, Bear learns that there's more than one way to achieve your dream. Told in seven short chapters. Young fans of comedy, aspiring actors, and shy kids will love this charming tale.
