<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Jeff the bear is sure he has forgotten something when he sets out from home, but none of the animals he meets initially inform him that he is only wearing his underwear, until he reaches his friend Anders the hare--who quickly thinks of a way to avoid embarrassing Jeff, by starting a fashion trend. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>A hilarious picture book from #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Jory John, paired with new illustrator Erin Kraan, about a bear whose friends help him make it through a bad day!</b> <p/>Jeff the bear has definitely forgotten something. He ate his breakfast, he watered his plant, he combed his fur...what could it be? Why does he feel so oddly off? So he asks his friend Anders the rabbit what could possibly be wrong. It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that he's wearing underwear...over his fur...could it? <p/><i>Something's Wrong!</i> is another read-out-loud, laugh-out-loud picture book from bestselling and beloved author Jory John, about that horrible nagging feeling that it just might not be your day--but you know you have a friend to support you no matter what.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"The underpinnings of this charming picture book are already strong (underwear is inherently funny), and the babbling small talk Jeff engages in while trying to figure out what's wrong adds a lot to the increasingly silly situation ('Am I right or am I right? I think I'm right'). John's text perfectly pitches the jokes to a strong conclusion at just the right pace while Kraan's energetic illustrations, with hardly a straight line in the entire book, add to the sense of ultimately harmless cringe. The book is also a clever primer on handling embarrassment and how it can sometimes be dealt with by simply changing the perspective of what's happening. . .This underwear affair is wise, witty, and just brief enough." --<i>Kirkus Reviews, </i><b>starred review</b><br><b><br>"</b>This is a wonderful example of illustration adding further to a very funny text . . . Expect hilarity to ensue wherever underwear stories are a hit with the add-on bonus of this being a great title for discussions on the topic of -allyship." --<i>School Library Journal</i>, <b>starred review</b><br>"A tribute to friendship. . .Anders's confiding reassurances and quick thinking make all-dialogue text by John a gift for the readaloud set. He's capably abetted by debut illustrator Kraan, whose textural earth-toned vignettes are gems of comic panic, dismay, and redemption." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Terrifically amusing. . .Block-print illustrations offer intricate lines and textures, and the solid, grounded art offers an effective steadiness in the face of Jeff's increasing panic. This could be paired with any number of underwear books, or it could just serve as a reminder that the best kind of friend always has your back." --<i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <p><b>Jory John </b>is a #1 <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling author of books for both children and adults.
