Description
While balancing in the bog, Bear is startled (but not frightened!) by Buffalo. He is a brave bear, but could Buffalo be even braver? A challenge begins, with great feats of bravery, but when the two competitors find themselves in front of a very scary cave, they will have to find a way to be very brave together.
About the Author
Nick Bland was born in the Australian Yarra Valley in 1973. He spent his early childhood climbing haystacks and making mischief in his father's painting studio. When he moved to “the bush” at the age 6, the rest of his childhood was filled with drawing, exploring and playing football.
As well as honing his drawing skills, he found a love of the English language during high school. It never occurred to him to pursue anything else as a profession. In 1996, he stumbled into a bookshop job, and rediscovered the art of the picture book. Untrained, he spent the next few years reading every picture book that hit the shelves and began honing his style as a storyteller and illustrator.
He illustrated several readers before sending A Monster Wrote Me a Letter to Scholastic Press in 2001. Since then, Nick has written and illustrated many titles, including the adorable bear that now features in a whole series of books that started with The Very Cranky Bear.
He lives in tropical Darwin, Australia.
