Descripción editorial
A hilarious picture book that follows the adventures of a well-meaning grizzly bear trying to help her forest friends.
Don’t look at this bear and think she is ferocious. Quite the opposite of grizzly. She is friendly!
Need directions? She’s your bear. What about an afternoon snack? Look no further. Being this thoughtful has always come naturally to her, and she just knows it’s appreciated by all her forest friends. Keep an eye out! There’s always someone in need of a helping hand—or paw.
From the silly to the sincere, I Am Friendly by children's author Kristen Tracy and rising star illustrator Erin Kraan will resonate with every big-hearted reader.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Chaos ensues when an overzealous bear self-appoints as forest helper in Tracy and Kraan's comic story. Clarifying that "I am friendly. I've been thoughtful my whole life," the oblivious ursine protagonist works to help a fawn find its mother, to supply a yellow-bellied marmot some snacks, and to save what it perceives as a "stuck baby mountain goat," among other gestures. Predictably, the figure's self-judged friendliness proves terrifying to its recipients, resulting in varied degrees of helpfulness and humor. Spotting the marmot, Bear chases the frightened critter to a meadow with "much better grass," and an attempt to assist a badger leaves the animal dripping in honey and swarmed by bees. When Bear beds down at day's end, a final inviting act of kindness at last achieves only its sweet intentions. Fine lines provide a scratchy texture to the spreads and especially to Bear, whose cheerful disposition is echoed with sunny undertones. Ages 3–6.
