What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

A hilariously clever story of wordplay and unexpected friendship, perfect for fans of 7 Ate 9 and Eats, Shoots, and Leaves. Over and Under are two friends, and they’re enjoying a day at the park. They go on the swings (Over goes over Under) and the seesaw (Under is under Over). They meet a hot-dog dog (who joins them for a hot dog). And then they spot . . . a bear! (Unbearable!) But is he really the overall scary creature they first understand him to be? In this hilariously punny story that will have readers laughing out loud as they pick apart the wordplay, a pair of pals overcome their fears as they discover that friendship underpins all. Praise for Over, Bear! Under, Where? “I adore this book. Am Over Come with emotion . . . er laughter. It’s Jeff Mack on steroids, and every English teacher from kindergarten up to college needs to have it. THAT good.” –Jane Yolen, bestselling and award-winning author of How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? “The absurdity of the premise, which swings around to fit the wordplay, will elicit laughs, while the wordplay will entertain and challenge younger readers.” –BCCB “A whimsical ‘Who’s on First’-like picture book . . . that earns its giggles.” –Publishers Weekly
