It's Bear vs. Ranger in the funniest food fight ever, in this entertaining picture book. Mac and cheese, carrot cake, meatball stew: Bear loves when campers leave him grub. The park ranger does not. Smackity smack, Ranger pounds a sign into the ground: DON'T FEED THE BEAR! Upset no more chewy cookies? No more juicy burgers? Bear quickly crosses out the "don't." Now, it's war in the park! But when both Bear and Ranger end up losing out, will the two antagonists finally call a truce? With its delightfully cartoon like pictures and clever wordplay, this picture book will keep kids laughing for hours. Nominated for the 2020-21 Young Hoosier Book Award.
