Maybe a Bear Ate It! Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Let your imagination go wild with this hilarious new picture book from bestselling duo, Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberely!

"It's gone! It's nowhere!

I can't find it anywhere!

Where is MY BOOK? I need MY BOOK!"

What happens when your favorite book goes missing? Bestselling duo Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley climb into the mind of a young child and create a hilarious picture book romp. As the frantic search for the beloved book takes off all sorts of horrifying thoughts come to mind and the imagination goes wild.

Robie Harris's simple, yet adventurous text is accompanied by hilarious animal illustrations from Michael Emberley. A story to entice book lovers of all ages!

Review:

"A wide-eyed critter of indeterminate species, surrounded by an elaborate bedtime ensemble of stuffed animals, is cuddled up with his favorite book. But in the middle of a big yawn, he inadvertently and unknowingly kicks the book under his bed. Readers will easily spot it (the bright red volume juts out from one of the bed's front legs), but the critter would much rather give in to wild speculation than actually hunt for it. 'Maybe a BEAR ate it!' he shrieks, and Emberley (paired with Harris for It's So Amazing!) imagines a scowling hulking ursine beast attacking the volume with a fork. Or maybe a shark consumed it; but at least all the sea creatures in its stomach can enjoy circle time. This is really more of a skit than a story, but it has a sound and effective unspoken message about not jumping to conclusions and taking responsibility for one's belongings. Besides, Harris and Emberley are clearly having so much fun that their enjoyment is infectious. Ages 3-5." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
