Utgivarens beskrivning
In this delightfully different alphabet book from the creator of Extraordinary Jane, a curious bear makes a new friend.
Suddenly "awake" in the middle of winter, a "big bear" explores a "cozy cabin," which Bear of course "enters excitedly." But the cabin isn't empty--a little girl lives there. So begins an unlikely friendship and an unexpected adventure as the girl attempts to figure out what a bear is supposed to be doing in the winter. (Hint: It's not eating pancakes or visiting the library!)
With her trademark humor and warmth, Hannah E. Harrison puts her own irresistible spin on the classic alphabet book. The result is a story families will treasure for years to come.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A grizzly bear rouses prematurely from hibernation and stirs up hunger-fueled pandemonium for a child in Harrison's narrative abecedarian. Each letter describes elements of the duo's journey, the dynamic illustrations proving of particular note as the bear awakens, rings the child's doorbell, and after being disguised in a yellow cap, ambles with the girl, visiting a library to learn about bears' needs and a market to acquire hibernation supplies. After pancakes at the girl's cabin, the pair plods through the wilderness toward the bear's den so the animal can resume its slumber this time with treats, a quilt, and the girl's own teddy. Humorous facial expressions occur every step of the way, and the bear's good-natured mayhem should draw smiles. Ages 3 5.
