A charming bear cub teaches the joys of solitude

Sometimes there’s nothing better than some peace and quiet... For ages 3–7 BEAR BY HIMSELF Geoffrey Hayes Bear by Himself is a warmhearted tale of the pleasures and rewards of solitude. In seven simple yet lyrical sentences, we follow Bear by himself from the country into town, from day to night, from adventure and contemplation to bedtime and dreamland. Through this journey, readers get to see how Bear’s senses are heightened and his imagination enriched by his ability to pause and enjoy the world around him. First published by Harper & Row in 1976, this classic children's picture book was Geoffrey Hayes’s first. He went on to become a successful author, illustrator, and cartoonist, best known for his Benny and Penny series. NYRB Kids is excited to bring back this classic, long out of print, with Hayes’s original illustrations. Bear and his adventures provide a much-needed example of how to have fun by yourself and explore the wonderful world around you, lessons as timeless as Bear himself.
