In Where Are You, Bear?, Sophie and her best friend Bear discovered Canada from A to Z. Now, they’re off to explore New York City through nearly twenty pairs of opposites!

Sophie can’t wait to see New York, while Bear would much rather they just stay home. Sophie loves speeding around in a taxi cab, but Bear wishes the driver would slow down. Up and down, stop and go, tall and short, and many more opposite pairs are illustrated using iconic New York experiences, buildings, and landmarks.

Then, when Sophie spies a window full of new bears in a toy store, Bear begins to worry he is too plain and old to compete with all the city has to offer. He’s proven right temporarily when Sophie forgets him in the toy store, but a helpful young boy and his mother find Bear and return him to Sophie at her hotel. The reunion is a happy one, and Sophie and Bear realize they love each other — no matter where they are!

My kids have thoroughly enjoyed Sophie and Bear's former Canadian adventure book, Where Are You, Bear?, for the last two years. I was therefore happy to see a 'sequel' to that kid's book, this book that now explores the concept of opposites during their vacation to New York City! Though the writing is simple and not necessarily very creative, the illustrations really bring out the opposite feelings experienced by Sophie and Bear as they encounter all of the wonders of the city--Sophie always enthusiastic and Bear, a little bit nervous and frightened. In the end, though they differ in their feelings on NYC, Sophie and Bear remain the best of friends.
