The book I am profiling today is a funny look at how the originator of a story may have other motives for not sharing the complete truth. Is he giving you the real deal? That is up to you to decide.

Title: The Bear Ate Your Sandwich
Author: Julia Sarcone-Roach
Target: Kindergarten - Grade 2
What this book is about:
This book begins with our narrator explaining what happened to a girl’s sandwich which has disappeared. Of course it starts with a bear who manages to hop a truck to the city. This new type of forest presents challenges and opportunities for our bear as he navigates new trees (telephone poles) mud (wet cement) and green fun (playgrounds). But when hunger strikes, he nabs an unattended sandwich and then hops a boat home. Of course everything is placed in doubt when it turns our our narrator is a cute little dog sharing the tale with his owner.

Why I love this book:
I always love a surprise ending, and this one is a very clever twist. This tall tale is placed immediately in doubt when we see the potential culprit is the one who is rellaying the events. Is it a true tale? Well that is for you to decide, but it is a fun way to teach kids about trusting the source!

Bear’s adventures are full of fun and humor with lots for kids to discover. I loved the end pages with lots of delicious sandwiches to choose from!
Who this book is for:
I have targeted it a little older simply because the humor at the end demands more maturity from kids. Younger kids may not get it.

Final thoughts:
