Bears in all their shapes and forms and across genres (this includes sentient teddybears and memoirs). If not friend why friend-shaped?! As long as the bear is plot or character relevant the book can land in here. Feel free to recommend books to be added (maybe also tell me why you think the bear functions as relevant for the story). We bear bears!

The "Shady Hollow" series would fit on here as well! It's a cosy mystery series about woodland creatures. An investigative journalist who is a fox investigates murders and other mysteries, with the help of a police bear. Highly recommend đ»đŠâš

Don't mind me. Just going to add that to the list AND my tbr. that sounds SO cool!
Shady Hollow shoutout!!! its one of my favorite series đ„č I love it so much
Ursbear talks about bears :a comfort thought đ«

let me scratch those cute little ears they got!
They Threw Us Away by Daniel Kraus would be a great addition to this list! The MCs are all sentient teddy bears. đ«¶ :)

Thank you, that one sounds very cool and very similar to "Drei BĂ€ren in der Nacht" which is a favourite childrens book of mine!
This is the bears weâre talking about when weâre choosing to hang out with them alone in the forest!

Exactly!!
