"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"
