“I love this book! It’s imaginative. It’s touching. It’s silly and it makes me laugh — as it will make children and parents laugh as they read it together. MAYBE A BEAR ATE IT! also reminds me of how much children love books, and how much books can matter in children’s lives. ” — Perri Klass, MD, Medical Director, Reach Out and Read; Professor of Journalism and Pediatrics, New York University; Contributing Editor, Parenting magazine
