About There's A Bear On My Chair

Review A playful portrait of impotent rage, Collins’s (The Elephantom) rhyming story looks at what happens when a problem is just too big to tackle...Collins’s drawings win laughs with confident, swooping lines and witty details (the silver tips on the collar of the bear’s Elvis shirt), and his sparkling verse has the ring of a nursery classic. —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Collins' pencil-and-digital illustrations are completely interwoven with the text, enlarging and enhancing the tale with over-the-top humor and expressive body language. The mouse jumps out of a box (in that underwear), offers a juicy pear, glares from atop a ladder, and more. The bear matches these goofy antics as he reads a newspaper, does an Elvis impression, takes a snooze, and checks his cellphone. Silly, laugh-out-loud fun. —Kirkus Reviews ...delightful, rhyme-filled read that's sure to remind parents of classic Dr. Seuss. —Pregnancy & Newborn Product Description Poor Mouse! A bear has settled in his favorite chair, and that chair just isn’t big enough for two. Mouse tries all kinds of tactics to move pesky Bear, but nothing works. Once Mouse has gone, Bear gets up and walks home. But what’s that? Is that a mouse in Bear’s house? From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2—Mouse has a problem—someone is on his chair! In a miniature red-and-white sweater, Mouse complains to readers, "There's a bear on my chair. He is so big, it's hard to share," and with a friendly wave, viewers meet a polar bear. Mouse tries various ways to get the bear off his chair, such as "a nasty glare," "a pear," and "a scare," and, finally, in a fit of "despair," Mouse leaves. Bear, finding himself alone, returns to his home of snow and ice to announce, "Hey! There's a mouse in my house." The delightful rhyme and rhythm make this title great fun to read aloud. The text takes up one side of each spread, emphasizing words that appear in red font to convey the escalating emotions. Expressive digital illustrations are placed on single-color backgrounds that help focus readers' attention on the characters' dilemmas. VERDICT A must-purchase and instant classic for storytime and one-on-one sharing. Sure to become a favorite.—Karen Ginman, BookOps: The New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library About the Author Ross Collins is a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art and has illustrated more than one hundred books for children and written a few, too.
