Bear is hungry. So hungry that when he spies a squirrel's berry snack, he can't help taking the whole berry bush. Then, when he wanders past a busy beehive, Bear knows he's hit the jackpot. But someone is on to him-the moon! Or so Bear thinks. Before he knows it, Bear is on the run with his stolen snacks, causing a whole lot of trouble for the other animals in the forest.

With big laughs, silly surprises, and a read-aloud-ready refrain, this picture book is perfect for fans of Jon Klassen and Mo Willems.

Booklist Review

When Bear's stomach begins rumbling, he starts filching food wherever he can find it. Honey still in the hive, a fish off a fisherman's hook, treats from campers' coolers it's all fair game. Or is it? As Bear collects his victuals, a full moon rises, bathing him in a pure and increasingly paranoid light. Stop following me, Moon! shouts Bear, and soon he's on the run, dodging behind trees, deflecting attention to Bigfoot, stealing a truck all in an attempt to evade the moon's unflagging gaze. Is it after Bear's food? Does it know Bear's a thief? When Bear finally gets his wish, the jewel-toned night turns pitch black, leaving him to nervously reconsider his ill-gotten gains and the moon's friendly glow. Stylized illustrations offer amusing details of their own Bear is clearly not the only animal with sticky paws and the minimal text helps keep readers' focus on the story's action. Farrell (Thank You, Octopus, 2014) builds the situational comedy well, ensuring laughs at Bear's over-the-top responses to the moon.--Smith, Julia Copyright 2016 Booklist
