A Bear Is a Bear (Except When He's Not) by Karl Newson
When Bear wakes up early from his hibernation, he can't remember what he is Is he a bird? Or a moose? Maybe a fox? Just when it seems like Bear won't be able to figure it out, he finds his cave and decides another nap might help. Will Bear be able to remember what he is when he wakes up again in the spring?
Ross Collins was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Growing up, he was particularly fond of drawing and precariously swinging backward on chairs. He has illustrated over 100 books and has written several too, including This Zoo Is Not for You and What Does an Anteater Eat? Several of his books have been nominated for awards in the UK, including There's a Bear on My Chair, which was awarded the inaugural Amnesty International Honor. His book, The Elephantom, was adapted for the stage in London. He lives with a strange woman, a small boy, and a silly dog in Scotland.
Karl Newson is an up-and-coming children's book writer and illustrator from London. He grew up in Norfolk, and on rainy days he would stay indoors and draw until his pens ran out of color. He was inspired to write when his children were small, and he has been making up stories ever since. When Karl isn't writing, he enjoys watching science fiction films, reading adventure stories, and listening to music from the 1960s. He loves to gaze at the stars and wonder... and he always gets his best ideas just before bed. Karl is also the author of Here Comes the Sun, Little Gray's Birthday Surprise, Fum, and A Bear is a Bear.
