For a group research project, Rosie’s team is assigned the topic of bears. Rosie is thrilled and dives right into planning the PERFECT group presentation. But things go awry when Rosie decides the other “bears” in the group are doing too much of this, or too little of that. Their ideas just don’t line up with hers. Can Rosie find a way to make the project “just right” for everyone, or will her self-appointed role as “chief bear” cause a bear brawl? Author Maya Myers, former K-1 teacher and classroom literacy specialist, infuses this tale with clever curricula and captures the antics, excitement, drama, and hilarity of elementary school. Rich back matter offers additional curriculum support.

Maya Myers writes books for kids and edits books for kids and adults. She’s a former teacher and loves cooking, gardening, and (of course) reading—just like Rosie! Originally from Maine, she now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, author-illustrator Matt Myers, who has more ideas than Wolfie. They have three kids, six chickens, and a twenty-three-pound cat named Hoss.
