A bear’s-eye view of an imaginative school assignment

A classroom prompt to imagine being a bear opens into a playful chain of bear-sized activities, including a motorcycle ride and a rescue involving a hot-air balloon. The contrast with a conventional report about bears gives the picture book room to explore how an assignment can become a launchpad for invention. Told through illustrations from the bear’s perspective, the story also brings friendship into its imaginative premise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture books about animals and make-believe.
  • For families and classrooms looking for a story connected to creativity, friendship, or imaginative thinking.

Book overview

"Better than virtual reality, this is one trip begging to be taken on repeat." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Assignment: Imagine yourself as a bear for the day. What would you do? Caldecott Honor and three-time Geisel Award-winning author and illustrator Corey R. Tabor offers an inspiring--and surprising--answer in this funny picture book for fans of Mo Willems, David Shannon, and Peter Brown.

If you were a bear for a day, what would you do? Probably wake up, eat breakfast, go for a motorcycle ride, and rescue your best friend from a rogue hot air balloon. . . . You know, normal bear stuff!

You certainly wouldn't stand in front of the whole class and give a boring, detailed, and informational report about bears.

Dynamically illustrated from the bear's perspective, the Caldecott Honor and three-time Geisel Award-winning Corey R. Tabor delivers an innovative and crowd-pleasing picture book. This funny, mischievous, and surprising picture book about creativity, friendship, where ideas come from, and the fun of using your imagination, will be a hit at home, at story times, and in classrooms.
