Goodreads Summary
Zogby wants to work for Fluffy Tail Cookies as a delivery animal—but he’s a bear and all the other animals are cute bunnies. Zogby tries to pretend to be a bunny by wearing bunny ears, putting on whiskers, and adding a fluffy tail. But he still scares the customers! When Zogby realizes being himself is best, can he find a way to stand out and get the job?

My Thoughts
Poor Zogby has wanted to be a delivery animal since he was just a cub. When he spots an advertisement for Fluffy Tail Cookies, he quickly applies. Although he does not fit the mold, Zogby is undaunted and tries to be the best delivery bear he can be. Unfortunately his mere presence scares the small animals he delivers to and they scream and run away. Can Zogby prove that he is not a scary predator, but just a harmless deliver bear? 

The illustrations are fun and colorful. The characters are all very sweet and appeal to young readers who will be rooting for Zogby for sure. 
I would recommend Delivery Bear most for grades K-2.
