Synopsis

Boy and Bear both love to explore the outdoors. There are so many neat things to see, and so many strange things to find. These explorers are prepared for anything . . . except each other!

When Bear and Boy meet in the woods, they're scared at first. Really scared. But soon these kings of the wild realize that no mountain is too big to conquer if you have a friend to climb it by your side. Praise for Explorers of the Wild "[An] exquisite book . . . [with] ravishing art." -USA Today Praise for To the Sea

"A whale's tale that dives deep and surfaces with useful lessons about making, keeping, and helping friends."
-Kirkus Reviews "An unusual and appealing story about friendship."

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 2—A boy and a bear cub enjoy being in the woods. When they meet, they are wary of the unknown other but find common ground in their love of exploring. At first, each character describes his individual wanderings, but once they meet, the "I's" become "we's" and they narrate as one. The illustrations are vibrant and fill the entire page, with the text "handwritten" into the story. VERDICT This adorable tale of friendship and exploration is a great buy for every collection, as picture book readers will delight in the cartoon adventure.—Heather Massa, East Rockaway Public Library, NY
