Bear's Big Breakfast is a classic read-aloud tale that helps kids identify the letter "b" and has a funny, unexpected twist at the end. It's from the author of Shark Kiss, Octopus Hug, Lynn Rowe Reed, and the bestselling, acclaimed illustrator of the Series of Unfortunate Events books, Brett Helquist. After a long hibernation, Bear wakes up hungry! But what will he eat? He knows he's craving something with the letter B...Will it be a bark, a bee, a boa ...or something even more surprising?

Reviews
"Ideal for a read-aloud...Move over, Winnie-the-Pooh; there's a hungrier bear in town." -- Booklist Praise for SHARK KISS, OCTOPUS HUG: "Should have readers in hysterics." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for BEDTIME FOR BEAR: "Satisfying. Helquist's compositions are lovely with just the right quirky details to catch viewers' attention. Offer this one to those in need of a winter's read-aloud before naptime." -- School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for BEDTIME FOR BEAR: "A winning winter read." -- ALA Booklist Praise for A CHRISTMAS CAROL: "The beloved Christmas classic is skillfully adapted for this simplified introduction to the tale. Helquist's artistic style is an excellent match for the Dickensian world of mysterious spirits and spooky graveyards." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for A CHRISTMAS CAROL: "With pleasing touches of detail, humor and a few frightful strokes...the eye-catching art makes a strong pairing to the accessible abridgment of Dickens's text" -- Publishers Weekly Praise for A CHRISTMAS CAROL: "Helquist's talent for detail and visual moods is truly remarkable. The whole family will love this one" -- Deseret Morning News Praise for A CHRISTMAS CAROL: "This interpretation of 'A Christmas Carol' is not to be missed.

A rousing and humorous tale." -- School Library Journal Praise for ROGER, THE JOLLY PIRATE: "[Helquist's] work is warm and appealing." -- New York Times Book Review
