β¦ Synopsis
"[A] charming follow-up toΒ .Β .Β . A Girl and Her GatorΒ .Β .Β . Outstanding in its simplicity, the story conveys an important message in an unassuming manner." —School Library Journal
When a bear named Mack wakes up with a boy on his back, we know instantly that we're back in the droll and sweetly wacky world created by Sean Bryan and Tom Murphy in their first two highly successful picture books about a bunny-wearing boy and his sister Claire, who wakes up with a gator on her hair.
Like A Boy and His Bunny and A Girl and Her Gator, this new picture book will entertain young children and their parents, and put smiles on the faces of their grandparents too.
"A gleefully ludicrous book." —ChildΒ

"The rhymes and simple pictures, with strong, witty lines, keep it burbling along, until a nice surprise ending." —Chicago Tribune

Debut author Bryan's silly rhymes and first-time children's book artist Murphy's effortless doodles imply that readers might invent more bunny-on-your-head activities, while the parent-child conversation implies that kid couture need not be cause for alarm." —Publishers Weekly
