B. Bear And Lolly: Off To School by A A Livingston

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.
