Help! I'm Being Eaten by a Bear

Author Neil Sharpson On Tour
From the creators of the national bestseller Don’t Trust Fish comes a gleefully absurd guide to bear encounters.

Bears are full of surprises. Luckily, the author of this picture book found out exactly what NOT to do when meeting a bear so that YOU can be totally prepared. For example, DO NOT make fun of the bear’s silly little ears and big hairy nose. And definitely DO NOT let the bear draw you a picture, even if he is a surprisingly good artist. Otherwise, you might end up on a wild adventure that could cost you your very favorite pair of pants…and win you an unexpected new friend. 

Illustrated by National Book Award-winning creator Dan Santat (who may or may not secretly be a bear), this laugh-out-loud romp will delight readers of all ages.
Neil Sharpson lives in Dublin with his wife and their two children. A veteran playwright and novelist, Neil was inspired to write his first picture book, Don't Trust Fish, when he realized someone needed to warn the world about the villainy and unpredictability of fish. Don't Trust Fish was a national bestseller and received six starred reviews. Ever dedicated to helping humans understand animals, Neil was inspired to write his second picture book, Help! I'm Being Eaten by a Bear when he realized someone needed to prepare the world for unexpected bear encounters.

Dan Santat is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of over a hundred books, including the National Book Award winning graphic memoir A First Time for Everything. His picture book The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend received the Caldecott Medal. He also illustrated The Blur, Lift, and Drawn Together, written by Minh Lê, which received critical acclaim. Dan is also the creator of the Disney animated hit The Replacements. He lives in Southern California with his family. View titles by Neil Sharpson
