About
the Book
Larry is a polar bear with style. He likes
blueberry muffins, enjoys dancing ballet, and takes pride in his job as a
lifeguard. He lives with the Frobisher family in the hotel that they named after
him. One day, Larry invites his bear friends from the zoo for a sleepover.
That’s when all the fun begins! Jill Pinkwater’s pen-and-ink and
colored-marker illustrations capture Larry’s appealing character as he and
his friends have the best sleepover ever.
DANIEL and JILL PINKWATER
have collaborated on books that make children guffaw, giggle, and squeal. They
have written about chickens, werewolves, dogs, and polar bears, including five
other books about Larry and three books on another pair of lovable bears, Irving
and Muktuk. Independent studies have shown that kids who read Pinkwater books
grow up smarter than other kids.
DANIEL PINKWATER likes to read books
aloud and occasionally reads a story with Scott Simon on National Public
Radio’s
All Things
Considered.
JILL PINKWATER has written several of her
own stories, including
Buffalo
Brenda
and
Tails
of the Bronx: A Tale of the Bronx.
Mostly, however, she likes
to draw pictures especially of Larry and his friends.
The Pinkwaters
live in New York State’s Hudson Valley, with their two dogs, Lulu and
Maxine, as well as a variety of cats, geese, rabbits, and hawks.
