Fall in love with a turtle wearing a bear suit-determined to prove that he's a "for-real" bear-in this laugh-out-loud silly friendship story from the award-winning Bob Shea, author-illustrator of the popular Dinosaur VS. series and Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great
When a turtle in a bear suit claims he is a "for-real" bear, he must prove himself to another turtle who just so happens to be a for-real bear expert. Hilarity ensues as Bearsuit Turtle proves he can climb trees, hibernate, and do other for-real bear stuff . . . like riding bikes, eating ice cream, and smashing pumpkins.
But when Bear-Expert Turtle reveals a secret, Bearsuit Turtle has to admit a truth of his own. Whether or not these two turtles are for-real bears or experts, they just might become for-real friends.
With a fabulously endearing, offbeat, and memorable new character; playful, true-to-life child dynamics; and a goofy, kid-perfect sense of humor, Bearsuit Turtle Makes a Friend is sure to charm readers everywhere. Includes a page of "for-real bear facts" at the end. Bob Shea has written and/or illustrated over 20 picture books including the popular Dinosaur Vs. series, Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great, and the Ballet Cat early readers series. His most recent picture book, Chez Bob, received three starred reviews, with Booklist calling it "terrifically funny and surprisingly sweet." Bob's characters and animations have appeared on Nick Jr, Playhouse Disney, and PBS Kids.
