I count and look
and then sit down.
She knows she never
will be found.
At hiding Sara is the best.
It gives us both
a little rest.

Guess Who's Coming, Jesse Bear
with illustrator Bruce Degen

The Story
Jesse's bossy cousin Sara is coming to visit for a whole week, and Jesse isn't happy about it. But Jesse is surprised to discover how much fun Sara can be!

Review
“...by the week’s end, Jesse is sad to see his cousin leave and, surprisingly, Sara admits that she will miss Jesse, too. As always, Jesse’s antics are delightfully portrayed in a bouncy, rhyming text and charming watercolors with delicate pen-and-ink lines.” Booklist
