Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Nothing short of magnificent."-- Library Media Connection
"[A] winsome debut."-- New York Times
This beautifully illustrated, fun read-aloud picture book will have kids everywhere asking the same question: "Where, bear?"
Once there was a bear cub who lived with a little boy. But over time the bear cub grew . . . and grew . . . and GREW! And did things that bears do . . . and do . . . and DO! One day the boy looked at the bear and realized he was just too big and bearish to be living in a house. "I think it's time we found you a new place to live where you can be bearish and big," said the boy. "But where, bear?"
From the only two-time World Book Illustrator Sophy Henn, here is a delightful journey that reminds us that even when best friends are apart, they always stay together.
Praise for WHERE BEAR?
* "[N]othing short of magnificent. Each page is absolutely charming and begs to be looked at again and again."- Library Media Connection , starred review
"[A] winsome debut . . . The catchy refrain, 'Then where, bear?,'and Henn's sophisticated matte-toned illustrations make for a zippy take on the 'finding your place' genre."- New York Times Book Review
"This gentle tale about friendship and home will give early readers and their grown-ups plenty of food for discussion."- Kirkus Reviews
" Simple illustrations in bold colors allow the bear's repertoire of expressions -- chagrin, boredom, and terror -- to take center stage."- Boston Globe
"[C]hildren will gravitate to the rhythmic repetition and the graphic design. A notable debut."- Booklist
A bear cub that has grown up with a boy gets too big and bearish to continue living in a house, so the boy sets out with his friend to find him a new place to live.
