Théodore, by  and Gaia Guarino

A funny, rousing picture book inspired by classic children’s tales.

Theodore is a ravenous grizzly bear that devours everything and everyone it comes across: an idiotic babysitter, absent-minded hikers, schoolchildren on a class trip, overconfident rangers…

The young narrator laments that the bear’s victims could have avoided their terrible fates by respecting a few simple rules: carrying pepper spray at all times, walking in groups of four, and hanging food in high places. Safety first, that is, until she herself forgets the rules of the game in a cunning tale that will surprise young readers with its most unpredictable ending!
