A Bear and His Boy


Sean Bryan - 2007
    Like "A Boy and His Bunny" and "A Girl and Her Gator," this new picture book will entertain young children and their parents, and put smiles on the faces of their grandparents too. Mack, a type-A bear who is terribly over-scheduled, is initially stressed to discover the boy, named Zach, and tells him: "Here's the deal . . . I've got no time to slack. I'm looking at my schedule, and it is jam-packed." But in the end, after a rhyme-filled tour through Mack's fanciful schedule, Zach teaches the bear to slow down and enjoy life, rather than rush through it. With aplayful text and simple, witty illustrations, A BEAR AND HIS BOY will help everyone stop and smell the lilacs!

Chloe, Instead
