The girl telling this story is certain there’s a bear in the woods outside her cabin. She hasn’t seen it, exactly, but she has proof, and she’d like you to stay inside with her until it passes. Hannigan’s second picture book, after Spider in the Well, is a read-aloud that gets kids shouting back at the page. It’s drawn in loud pinks and oranges, with bear shapes waiting at the edges. 

Ages 4 and up.
