About this item
"This delightful picture book about a sandwich gone missing has a hilarious twist at the end that will have kids asking you to read it again and again." - Seira Wilson, Amazon EditorBear meets sandwich, adventure ensues. . . . A sly classic-in-the-making for fans of Jon Klassen, Peter Brown, and Mo Willems. By now I think you know what happened to your sandwich. But you may not know how it happened. So let me tell you. It all started with the bear . . . So begins Julia Sarcone-Roach's delicious tale of a bear, lost in the city, who happens upon an unattended sandwich in the park. The bear's journey from forest to city and back home again is full of happy accidents, funny encounters, and sensory delights. The story is so engrossing, it's not until the very end that we begin to suspect this is a TALL tale. The wonderfully told story, spectacular illustrations, and surprise ending make this Julia Sarcone-Roach's best book to date. You'll want to share it with your friends (and keep a close eye on your lunch) .Praise for The Bear Ate Your Sandwich:***Winner of an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor Award!***"This story is mischief-making at its finest. And just like a good sandwich, it's hard to resist." - Book Page"Charming" - The Wall Street Journal"While the bear storyline is entertaining in itself, the ending twist will equally delight kids who love to spot untruths, and a second reading for hints as to the narrator's credibility may well be in order." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred review
About the Author
Julia Sarcone-Roach was born in Chicago and raised in Northern Virginia, where she grew up running around the backyard, looking for animals, and drawing. She studied film and animation at the Rhode Island School of Design, and her award-winning animated short CALL OF THE WILD has been shown in film festivals around the world. Julia now lives in Brooklyn, New York, writing and illustrating picture books. She is the author and illustrator of THE SECRET PLAN, SUBWAY STORY, and THE BEAR ATE YOUR SANDWICH, which was an Ezra Jack Keats Honor Award winner, a New York Times bestseller, and an excuse to eat many sandwiches. She is also the illustrator of INCREDIBLE INVENTIONS by Lee Bennett Hopkins and the Ezra Jack Keats Honor Award book EXCELLENT ED by Stacy McAnulty. Julia runs across a surprising number of wild animals in Brooklyn, but, to date, no bears. She does, however, share her home with two inquisitive cats, and all of them enjoy donuts very much.www.jsarconeroach.com
