About The Book
Bear LOVES the spotlight in this outrageous A to Z story. When he realizes only “B is for Bear,” he tries to steal the show from all the other animals in the alphabet…
A Is for Bear is not your average ABC book! Yes, this title does have an animal that represents each letter of the alphabet… except…We have an interloper that steals the limelight for the whole alphabet and his name is BEAR.
Everything starts out normal! “A is for Alphabet, B is for Bear, C is for Cat.” Then, suddenly, “E is for… Eager Bear” (what about Elephant?!) and “F is for Fabulous Bear?” Each letter becomes goofier as this animal story unfolds. “M is for Missing Bear”… but is he really?
BEAR takes over the alphabet! He gets away with it at first, too. But FOX has his eye on the game that is afoot. FOX will do all he can to stop BEAR from outshining the list of animals and their rightful letters! BEAR reaches for every trick in his toolbox to remain the ultimate star of the show all of the way to the end.
Anastasiya Keegan’s illustrations are full of movement, emotion & vibrant color that lends to the comedy Soren Kisiel theatrical tale brings to Young Readers. Keegan’s signature style that plays with depth and field of vision, seen in Adventures for Breakfast (POW! 2022) continues in A Is for Bear as well as her quirky animated wit visible on every page.
A Is for Bear turns the ABC concept on its head. Young Readers see beloved animals that they can point out on the page all while laughing at the wacky, mischievous story that unfolds with our BEAR.
