The Bear Out There

Spider in the Well author-illustrator Jess Hannigan delivers a hysterical picture book about a frightened young girl who invites readers into their home to hide from the "bear out there"—only for readers to realize all may not be what it seems inside or outside.

DON’T SCREAM! There’s something scary out in the forest, but you’re in good hands in this story by Jess Hannigan, author of the wryly silly Spider in the Well. Just make sure you keep a cool head, and watch out for any intruders…

The signs are clear—there’s a BEAR OUT THERE!

You’re lucky to be safe in this cabin in the woods, with a host who is levelheaded, trustworthy, and smart about bear safety.

There’s certainly no need to worry about any dark shadows or sneaky schemes in this book…RIGHT?

Jess Hannigan is back with another bold and brazen tale that’s not too silly, not too scary, but just right.
