Hi there Booktomato family! How is your week going? We are in full lunch box packing-homework writing-teacher meeting-it's a school night so you need to get in bed now mode over here. What about you?

Today's book, There's a Bear on My Chair, is written by super-talented and super-prolific children's author, Ross Collins. A full list of his works would be way too long for this post, so if you want to read more of his books (and there are some really, really good ones!) check out his website here.

So what is a mouse to do when a bear comes and sits in his chair and he just will not move? He begs. He pleads. He bribes, but the bear will not budge. The solution? Go get in the bear's bed! This story is so cute, and my three year old loved it. It has the simplicity and humor that I feel so many of the classic picture books have. Also, any book that says the word "underwear" is the height of comedy for my kids. This is sure to be a classic!
