By now I think you know what happened to your sandwich. 
But you may not know how it happened.
So let me tell you.
It all started with the bear . . .
 
So begins Julia Sarcone-Roach’s delicious tale of a bear, lost in the city, who happens upon an unattended sandwich in the park. The bear’s journey from forest to city and back home again is full of happy accidents, funny encounters, and sensory delights. The story is so engrossing, it’s not until the very end that we begin to suspect this is a TALL tale. 
 
The wonderfully told story, spectacular illustrations, and surprise ending make this Julia Sarcone-Roach’s best book to date. You’ll want to share it with your friends (and keep a close eye on your lunch).

“我想，现在你已经知道你的三明治发生了什么事，但你也许不知道这是怎么发生的。就让我来告诉你吧。一切要从这只熊说起……”这天早晨，熊顺着莓子的芳香，误打误撞来到车水马龙的城市。他爬上爬下、四处游玩，来到公园，发现长椅上有一个无人看管的三明治……“所以，这就是你的三明治的遭遇。它被熊吃了。”这位一直在讲话、却始终没有露面的叙述者是谁？你相信他的话吗？

作者茱莉娅·萨科内-罗奇灵活转变人称和视角，构建了一个疑点重重、吊人胃口的故事。你一开始以为这是一桩三明治离奇失踪事件，看着看着又觉得是森林熊的一段城市旅行记。不过，如果你充分调动“侦查能力”，找出文字叙述与画面之间的矛盾反差，就能在zui后一页发现一个好笑的惊喜！
