B. Bear and Lolly: Off to School

B. Bear (formerly known as Baby Bear) and Lolly (short for Goldilocks) are best friends. After all, they like all the same things. With a bear-and-girl friendship that fits just right, this duo is ready for any adventure—even going to school for the first time.

New York Times bestselling author A. A. Livingston celebrates the power of friendship to overcome first-time jitters, and illustrator Joey Chou's bright, bold art playfully complements this fun twist on a fairytale classic. Kids who may be a little nervous about their own first day of school will be inspired by B. Bear and Lolly's story.

Anyone who remembers the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" knows that Baby Bear's bowl, chair, and bed were just right for Goldilocks. That could mean only one thing: that these two would make the perfect pair.

Imagine that B. Bear (who is so not a baby bear) and Lolly (Goldilocks just sounds too prim) become best friends. After all, they like all the same things. With a bear-and-girl friendship that fits as perfectly as jigsaw puzzle pieces, this duo is ready for any adventure, even going to school for the very first time.
