Product Description Do you know how to scare a bear? Would you bang pots and pans? Would you rattle some cans? Would you shout? Would you yell? Would you ring a loud bell? Do you know how to scare a bear? How would you scare a bear out of your cabin? Or out of your fishing boat? How about away from your campfire? And what if he climbed in your bunk? Would the bed go kerplunk? From the author-illustrator team who created Moose on the Loose comes yet another example of the high jinks and hilarity that happens when wildlife wanders indoors. In this contest of wills, who will win? And once again, by story's end, young campers will know exactly how to scare a bear! From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1 The creative team behind Moose on the Loose (Sleeping Bear, 2009) has produced another humorous animal escapade. The text begins with a notice pinned to a tree: Do you know how to scare a bear? and continues with bouncy rhymes acted out by children: Would you bang pots and pans?/Would you rattle some cans?/Would you shout?/Would you yell?/Would you ring a loud bell? The bear becomes bolder and the text accelerates until finally the youngsters scare it into running off the page. The colorful cartoonlike pictures are energetic and full of detail, such as a moose on the loose on several pages. A fun read-aloud.
