Description
When Bear meets Dragon on an old, rickety bridge, they don't see eye to eye. Bear thinks Dragon should stand aside and let him pass . . . . . . and Dragon thinks Bear should definitely let her go first. Fur is ruffled and sparks fly in their heated conversation, but who is going to back down? Meanwhile the bridge is getting creakier and creakier . . .
When Bear meets Dragon, sparks fly!

Reviews
"A cracker of a book to read aloud" * Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub *
"This is HILARIOUS!!! Arguments, catastrophe, disaster, hi-jinks and some of the best literary insults I've read! I loved it and kids are going to love it too!" * Ian Eagleton, author of Nen and the Lonely Fisherman *
"Children will love the impending sense of doom, the idiotic cluelessness of the protagonists and the insults Bear and Dragon hurl at each other... Lively and hilarious." * The Bookseller *
"Firey and funny, Bear vs DragonR^, is a super inventive story with dynamic illustrations and fun relatable characters, that leaves you with the warm glow of friendship." * Mo O'Hara, Children's Author *
"Young readers will really relate to this hilarious tale of a bridge stand-off... Mark Chambers' lively and characterful illustrations capture the body language of outrage and insult perfectly and the lively page design effectively follows the back and forth of the dialogue and both the descent into the depths and the precarious flight out of the ravine. It teaches a valuable lesson about the power of cooperation and the importance of seeing another's point of view and should be a popular read aloud." * Joy Court, LoveReading4Kids *
