In this hilarious follow-up to the acclaimed A Boy and His Bunny, Claire--the sister of the "boy who one day woke up with a bunny on his head--discovers that she too has a strange new condition: When she looks in the mirror, there is a gator in her hair!

Like A Boy and His Bunny and A Girl and Her Gator, this new picture book will entertain young children and their parents, and put smiles on the faces of their grandparents too.

With a playful text and simple, witty illustrations, A BEAR AND HIS BOY will help

everyone stop and smell the lilacs!...
