Bearsuit Turtle Plays a Game

Bob Shea brings his signature humor to this picture book about a turtle in a bearsuit and his friend who embark on an imaginative, rule-bending game of "bearsketball." What starts as a simple game quickly escalates into an "off-the-walls" adventure involving pretend lava, hill-rolling, and a quest for the ultimate stick. This book is a delightful exploration of friendship, creativity, and the boundless joy of unstructured play, perfect for sparking imagination in children aged 4-8. It models how friends can create their own fun and navigate playful chaos together.

A turtle in a bearsuit and his friend play a seemingly rule-less game of bearsketball that gets increasingly off-the-walls as the friends avoid pretend lava, roll down hills, and search for the biggest stick to become the winner.
