Description
The second installment in Sam Miserendino and Mike Odum's Addicted Animal Series, If You Give a Bear a Bong is a children's book for former children.
A humorous play off of the famous If You Give a Moose a Muffin, the book tells the story of a bear that had just one too many hits. Following the success of other adult-themed parodies of children's books, author Sam Miserendino presents a delightful tale that will entertain readers with its charming combination of innocence and lack thereof.
Featuring gorgeous full-color illustrations by illustrator Mike Odum that accompany the text, this heartwarming cautionary tale informs readers of the dangers of mixing marijuana and large mammals.
Reviews
"If youve ever thought about getting high with a bear, you should definitely read Sam Miserendinos parody, If You Give A Bear A Bong. In fact, you should probably read it even if youve never been tempted to share a bong with a bear, because the bud-loving bear in Sams book will, no doubt, remind you of someone you know. Maybe even someone you know really, really well (think person in the mirror)." High Times
"Sam Miserendino's book If You Give A Bear A Bong is crazy and hilarious!" Bill Plympton
Author Bio
Sam Miserendino is an attorney by day, author by night, and father 24/7. It was in this latter role that Sam was inspired to write about beer-drinking bunnies and bong-smoking bears. After reading books about carb-addicted moose, mice, and pigs to his son and daughter for the millionth time, Sam's thoughts drifted to other animals with other addictions. Sam lives in Buffalo, New York, with his wife, two children, two dogs, and two cats, none of whom, he is happy to report, are addicted to anything more serious than chew toys, catnip, and television.
Mike Odum is a former bartender so he has extensive experience with inebriated mammals. Mike's observation of bar fauna informed his skillful renderings in If You Give A Bunny A Beer and If You Give A Bear A Bong. When not drawing drunk bunnies and stoned bears, Mike develops games for ROOT 76a game company he co-founded. Mike lives in Richmond, Virginia, with his wife and two-year-old daughter, who enjoys sneaking into his studio and adding her own touches to his work.
