How to Share with a Bear by Eric Pinder (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2015)
The perfect thing to do on a chilly day is to make a blanket cave. But, of course, a comfy cave never stays empty for too long...What's a boy to do when a bear takes over his cave? Try to distract him with a trail of blueberries? Some honey? A nice long back scratch?
How to Share with a Bear is a story about how although it's not always easy, sharing with a sibling can make things even more fun! -- Publisher's blurb
About the author:
Eric Pinder still wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. In the meantime, you can often find him riding his bike or hanging out with bears in New Hampshire. Eric’s books for children include "If All the Animals Came Inside" and "How to Share with a Bear", and he also has written several books about mountains and weather for adults.
A lifelong interest in science and nature led Eric to work for seven years atop the snowy, windswept summit of Mount Washington, the “Home of the World’s Worst Weather.” His experiences there inspired his first book for children, "Cat in the Clouds". After leaving the mountain, he taught for many years at a small arts college in the woods: Chester College of New England.
Eric also has taught creative writing at the New Hampshire Institute of Art and other colleges, and today he often visits schools and libraries to share stories about the writing life, books, and animals. He holds a BA from Hampshire College and an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
