Snorybear is a very famous bear. He is the biggest sleepyhead in the woods. And he snores so loud! There is no snorer in the whole world louder than Snorybear. His friend the fox wrote a book about him this summer, so now everyone knows about Snorybear. The members of the Snore Academy, who annually award a medal to the loudest snorer in the world, had also heard about Snorybear. They decided to visit his den and make sure that this bear deserved the medal.
However, just a few days before their arrival, Snorybear couldn’t fall asleep. He neither slept nor snored, and he didn’t even nap for a second. He just stared into the distance and repeated one word all day long: “Camomile… Camomile… Camomile…”
Snorybear and Camomile is the second story in a picture book series about the loudest bear in the world, who dreams the most beautiful dreams and snores the loudest snore. In this story, Snorybear will find himself in a big problem. He will fail at what he is best at and for which he is famous all over the world. In an exciting adventure, Snorybear’s friends will do everything they can to preserve his fame.
But is fame, recognition, awards, and the opinion and approval of others really that important in life? Is there anything more important? Could it be love?
