Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Early one morning, a little bear found a little box. He looked inside. Then he exclaimed, “Why, it’s the greatest thing ever! Mouse will love this.” Bear’s friends aren’t so sure of his newfound treasure, however. “That’s not so great,” says Monkey. “I’ve seen those before,” says Owl. And by the time Bear finds Mouse, his own doubts have grown. But Mouse has the last say when he looks inside the little box. “It is the greatest thing ever,” he tells his friend. “Thank you, Bear.” Part mystery, part fable, this deceptively simple story of true friendship is perfect for the very youngest reader. It is sure to tug at your heart.
Good Luck Bear is the 2008 winner of the Charlotte Zolotow Award. Review:"Foley, making his children's book debut, is an award-winning graphic designer and the creative director for the hipster-fashionista bibles Visionaire, V and VMan. His simple story concerns 'a little bear [who] found a little box.' The cub thinks it is 'the greatest thing ever!' But on his way to presenting the box to his friend Mouse, the furry hero meets up with naysayers whose discouragement ranges from 'I've seen those before' (an owl) to 'You're holding it the wrong way' (a fox). But Mouse looks at the box 'this way and that,' and agrees with his pal's original rave, to the letter. Mouse gratefully makes the box his new home (hence, the title). Foley combines an energetic ink line with pleasingly off-register washes of muted color, giving his pages a handsome, retro look. He strips down the story and the illustrations to their essence, allowing toddlers to place themselves in the cub's position, and rejoice when his best friend appreciates his gift — a box just right for Mouse to make his own. Ages 3-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:Bear and his friends will charm little ones in this new format Early one morning, a little bear found a little box. So begins this simple but extremely satisfying picture book, winner of the Charlotte Zolotow award. Now in board book format for little hands, Thank You Bear is a wonderful mystery of a story that asks a question that even the youngest of children will enjoy guessing the answer to--what is in Bear's box? From red fox to gray elephant, colorful animals tell Bear what they think is inside. But it's not until the very last page, that all is revealed and in the very sweetest way. Synopsis:Part mystery, part fable, this deceptively simple story of true friendship and a little box that becomes the greatest gift ever is ideal for the very youngest of readers. Full color.
