Bookroo's summary

In a whimsical forest encounter, a carefree bunny faces a hungry bear with a simple plea: "Please don't eat me." As the bear's requests grow, Bunny discovers that perhaps Bear's appetite is for companionship, not food. This charming tale of unexpected friendship explores the dynamics of predator and prey, leaving readers wondering if the bear's true hunger is for a friend. Will Bunny's cleverness turn a potential threat into a lasting bond? Dive into this delightful story that promises laughter and a heartwarming twist on friendship.

From the publisher

Beloved author-illustrator Liz Climo is back with a hilarious take on (reluctant) friendship that will appeal to fans of We Don’t Eat Our Classmates and I Want My Hat Back! When a carefree bunny is approached by a voracious bear in the woods, Bunny has just one request: “Please don’t eat me.” But the bear has a never-ending list of requests, and Bunny realizes maybe Bear isn’t as hungry as he’d let on…maybe he just wants his new friend’s company for a while. This witty and poignant exploration of predator and prey will have children and parents alike roaring with laughter—and looking for their next meal.
