There's a Bear on My Chair

Description: "A Bear has settled in Mouse's favorite chair--and that chair just isn't big enough for two. He tries all kinds of tactics to move the pesky Bear but nothing works and poor Mouse gives up. Once Mouse has gone, Bear gets up and walks home. But what's that? Is that a Mouse in Bear's house?"--

Review Quotes: A playful portrait of impotent rage, Collins's (The Elephantom) rhyming story looks at what happens when a problem is just too big to tackle...Collins's drawings win laughs with confident, swooping lines and witty details (the silver tips on the collar of the bear's Elvis shirt), and his sparkling verse has the ring of a nursery classic.
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Collins' pencil-and-digital illustrations are completely interwoven with the text, enlarging and enhancing the tale with over-the-top humor and expressive body language. The mouse jumps out of a box (in that underwear), offers a juicy pear, glares from atop a ladder, and more. The bear matches these goofy antics as he reads a newspaper, does an Elvis impression, takes a snooze, and checks his cellphone. Silly, laugh-out-loud fun.
--Kirkus Reviews

...delightful, rhyme-filled read that's sure to remind parents of classic Dr. Seuss.
