Description
When a turtle in a bear suit claims he is a "for-real" bear, he must prove himself to another turtle who just so happens to be a for-real bear expert. Hilarity ensues as Bearsuit Turtle proves he can climb trees, hibernate, and do other for-real bear stuff . . . like riding bikes, eating ice cream, and smashing pumpkins.
But when Bear-Expert Turtle reveals a secret, Bearsuit Turtle has to admit a truth of his own. Whether or not these two turtles are for-real bears or experts, they just might become for-real friends.
With a fabulously endearing, offbeat, and memorable new character; playful, true-to-life child dynamics; and a goofy, kid-perfect sense of humor, Bearsuit Turtle Makes a Friend is sure to charm readers everywhere. Includes a page of "for-real bear facts" at the end.

"Shea...understands the power of subversive humor and honest truth. Combining the two makes the first of this new series a laugh-out-loud romp that won't just have kids giggling: It will have them begging for a reread. Shea's spare, colorful art and conversational text work in perfect unison...This is a must for librarians, teachers and parents looking for a delightful read-aloud to add to their collection. More, please!"--BookPage
