About this title

About the Author:

Nancy White Carlstrom is the author of more than fifty books for children, including nine other titles in the Jesse Bear series, Who Said Boo?, and Wild Wild Sunflower Child Anna. Ms. Carlstrom lives in Fairbanks, Alaska, with her husband, David, and their two son, Jesse and Josh. And while the olive too far away for frequent visits with their family, they enjoy traveling to see their family as often as possible.

Bruce Degen has illustrated all the Jesse Bear books. He is the author and illustrator of Jamberry, and the illustrator of the acclaimed Magic School Bus series. He has taught courses on art and the writing and illustrating of children's books to children and adults. Mr. Degen, his wife, and their two sons, Benjamin and Alexander, live in Connecticut in a renovated farmhouse with ducks on the pond, bats in the barn, and a family tree that Jesse Bear himself would love to climb.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 1–The much-loved, irrepressible Jesse Bear is back in another adventure. Here, readers are introduced to his extended family as they gather for a reunion and have fun dancing and singing under the stars, going on hayrides, and playing croquet. The cub is right in the middle of the action, playing with his cousins and trying new foods and activities. Carlstrom's breezy, bouncy rhymes describe all of the tastes, smells, and sights of an active and loving family get-together. The watercolor-and-ink illustrations are bright, cheery, and uncluttered. Fans of Jesse Bear will be more than satisfied with this child's-eye view of an event that many youngsters experience.–Wendy Woodfill, Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka, MN
