<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A rabbit tries everything he can think of to prevent a hungry bear from eating him, but the bear has something else in mind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Beloved author-illustrator Liz Climo is back with a hilarious take on (reluctant) friendship that will appeal to fans of <i>We Don't Eat Our Classmates</i> and <i>I Want My Hat Back!</i></b><br>When a carefree bunny is approached by a voracious bear in the woods, Bunny has just one request: "Please don't eat me." <p/>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. <p/>This witty and poignant exploration of predator and prey will have children and parents alike roaring with laughter--and looking for their next meal.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Please Don't Eat Me</i> </b>"Climo masterfully includes a ton of expression behind the two protagonists' tiny dotted eyes. [...] Droll humor that's sure to elicit guffaws."--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><br><b>Praise for <i>Rory the Dinosaur Wants a Pet</i> </b>"The cartoon-style illustrations, achieved with "digital magic," are set off with plenty of white space, and...it is an appealing read-aloud. Children just developing a sense of humor will appreciate the innocent silliness of the tale."--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><br><b>Praise for <i>You Don't Want a Unicorn!</i> </b>"Climo's rainbow-bright illustrations take Dyckman's silly premise to a whole new level of absurdity.... This is a crowd-pleaser, complete with cupcake poops and rainbow burps, and...a welcoming and unobtrusive gender-nonconforming vibe."--<b><i>Horn Book</b></i><br><br>* "Echoes of child persistence and adult exasperation might ring familiar to grownup readers, but mostly this will earn plenty of giggles from fans of Jon Klassen and Lemony Snicket."--<b><i>BCCB, starred review</b></i><br><br>"[...] Climo's laconic repartee between predator and prey is aimed pretty squarely at a 4-year-old's funny bone. The sarcastic rabbit and the sincere, if sincerely peckish, bear make an entertaining duo."--<b><i>The Washington Post</b></i><br><br>"Climo creates gleeful unicorn havoc ... there's a lot of mischievous fun to be had."--<b><i>Publisher's Weekly</b></i><br><br>"Climo's sweet digital illustrations brim with vibrant colors, and young listeners will enjoy noting the many witty visual details.... A perfect lap-sit title or story hour choice."--<b><i>Booklist</b></i><br><br>"Hand to fans of [Laura] Numeroff's many books or read this for a raucous and silly preschool storytime."--<b><i>School Library Journal</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Liz Climo</b> grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and moved to Los Angeles after college to work as a character artist on <i>The Simpsons</i>.
