    From the creators of the national bestseller Don’t Trust Fish comes a gleefully absurd guide to bear encounters.

    Bears are full of surprises. Luckily, the author of this picture book found out exactly what NOT to do when meeting a bear so that YOU can be totally prepared. For example, DO NOT make fun of the bear’s silly little ears and big hairy nose. And definitely DO NOT let the bear draw you a picture, even if he is a surprisingly good artist. Otherwise, you might end up on a wild adventure that could cost you your very favorite pair of pants…and win you an unexpected new friend. 

    Illustrated by National Book Award-winning creator Dan Santat (who may or may not secretly be a bear), this laugh-out-loud romp will delight readers of all ages.
    “Sharpson and Santat re-create the magic of their previous collaboration. . . . A worthy entry in the pantheon of consumed picture-book protagonists, with jokes that come as fast as a furious bear.” —Kirkus

    "This unpredictable, entertaining story is outlandish and poignant. . . . This laugh-out-loud book will leave a positive mark on readers’ minds once it concludes." —School Library Journal
