Written by Sean Bryan · Illustrated by Tom Murphy
A busy bear learns to slow down with a boy's help.
Mack the bear is always busy, until a boy appears on his back, turning his world upside down. In this whimsical tale, Mack discovers the joy of slowing down and savoring life's simple pleasures. As the boy guides him through unexpected adventures, Mack must decide if he can embrace a new way of living. Will he learn to balance his hectic schedule with moments of tranquility? This charming story invites readers to ponder the value of time and the beauty of unexpected friendships.
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.
