Square Bear lived in a square house. He loved all things square!

His bed was square. His chair was square. Even his mirror was square!

One sunny morning, Square Bear woke up hungry. He went to make breakfast.

“Time for a yummy square sandwich!” he said.

Square Bear opened his square fridge. He took out some bread.

But oh no! When he looked at his plate, he got a big surprise.

The sandwich was round!

“Oh no!” Square Bear cried. “This won’t do at all!”

Square Bear looked around his square kitchen. He needed to find square food.

He peeked in a red cupboard. Inside were round cookies.

“Not square,” said Square Bear.

He reached into a blue drawer. He found triangle cheese.

“Not square,” said Square Bear again.

Square Bear looked in a green box. He saw rectangle crackers.

“Close, but not square,” he said.

One, two, three times Square Bear searched. But no square food!

Then he had an idea. “I can make my sandwich square!”

Square Bear grabbed some bread. He found a knife.

“Time to get creative!” he said with a big smile.

Square Bear was ready to make his perfect square sandwich.

First, he took two slices of bread. Snip, snip went his scissors.

Now the bread was square!

Next, he cut the cheese. Chop, chop went the knife.

The cheese became a little square.

Then, he sliced a tomato. Slice, slice went the knife again.

He made tiny squares of tomato.

Square Bear put it all together. He looked at his plate.

“Hooray!” he cheered. “My sandwich is square at last!”

Square Bear did a happy dance. He was so proud.

He sat in his square chair and took a big bite.

“Mmmm,” said Square Bear. “Square tastes the best!”
