More Bears!
by Kenn Nesbitt
Once upon a time there was a story. It was a lovely story with absolutely NO BEARS in it―not a SINGLE BEAR anywhere.
Then one day...MORE BEARS!
KENN NESBITT is possibly the funniest and most sought-after children's poet writing today. When he's not writing, podcasting, updating his website (poetry4kids.com), or visiting schools sharing his wacky brand of humor with kids across America, Kenn can be found cuddling his collection of stuffed bears. He seriously cannot get enough of bears. Or chickens.
TROY CUMMINGS has been drawing goofy animals pretty much nonstop since kindergarten. His illustrations have appeared in newspapers, in magazines, on websites, on frozen fish stick packages, and in hospital waiting rooms. He hibernates in Greencastle, Indiana, with his kids and cats.

More Bears!
by Kenn Nesbitt
This story was a lovely story with absolutely no bears in it―not a single bear anywhere―then one day…
MORE BEARS!!
The author tried very, very hard to ignore the children who thought that the story ought to have
MORE BEARS!!
Fine. This story had a bear.
Full of irreverent humor and prime for interactive read-aloud fun, More Bears! is a favorite of parents and kids alike. Acclaimed poet Kenn Nesbitt is at his best with this silly meta-fictional book. As the "author" of the story begins writing a tale without any bears in it, he is abruptly interrupted with a chorus of someone shouting "MORE BEARS!" at every turn of the page!
