When You Meet a Bear on Broadway

By Hest, Amy & Savadier, Elivia

Publishers Summary:
What do you do when you meet a bear on Broadway? Suck in your breath. Stick out your hand. And say, “Stop there, Little Bear!” If he cries and tells you that his mama is lost, you must help him find her. With great humor and charm, Amy Hest’s wry, deceptively simple text captures every child’s worst fear—being separated from his mother—while Elivia Savadier’s whimsical watercolors bring to life the spirit and spunk of this memorable take-charge young heroine in an unforgettable urban romp through the streets of New York.
