Publisher Description
It's Bear's very first day of school!
He wants to be grown up, so he leaves his stuffed bunny Floppy at home along with all his familiar things. But being away from his best friend is hard--and the first day doesn't turn out quite how like Bear wanted it to. Bear learns that the first day of school might not always be perfect, and being grown up doesn't have to mean giving up the things he loves.
Geisel Honor-winning author/illustrator Salina Yoon's beloved duo Bear and Floppy head to school in Bear's Big Day--a charming picture book about starting school and being independent.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bear, previously seen in Found and Stormy Night, considers himself to be a "big bear" now, and he's ready to leave his much-loved stuffed rabbit, Floppy, at home when he goes to school. Or is he? "Bear thought school would be lots of fun," writes Yoon. "But something or someone was missing." Luckily, Bear's teacher, Miss Fox, is there to pass along some advice ("Being big doesn't mean you have to do everything by yourself") and help Bear with an arts-and-crafts project that lets him share the school day with Floppy. (Several of Bear's classmates, readers will notice, are already bringing their own stuffed friends to school.) Yoon's confident storytelling and appealingly chunky artwork create an emotionally resonant tale with some well-handled moments of levity Bear's bear-shaped backpack is both central to the plot and adorable. Up to age 5.
