Donovan is hungry for a special kind of breakfast...makwa !
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! 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 story was inspired by a first-grader in La Loche, a northern Saskatchewan community that Robert Munsch visited in 1990. He asked what the kids like to eat, and Donovan said that he liked to eat bear!
The book is illustrated by Jay Odjick, and the CD is narrated in Algonquin by Joan Commanda Tenasco, the book's translator, and in English by teacher Misty Whiteduck. All three are members of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation.
