繼得獎作品《Bear》之後,創作者 Natalia Shaloshvili 再次以溫暖筆觸帶來本書。這一次,主角Bear為了一塊餅乾,展開一連串「如果……怎麼辦」的擔憂。原本開心吃著餅乾的Bear,忽然想到:要是這是最後一塊呢?沒想到真的如此。他急著出門買餅乾,卻一路擔心錯過公車、迷路、排不到隊,而這些「最糟情況」竟一一發生。當最後一塊餅乾被Duck買走時,Bear幾乎認定世界就要崩塌。然而,Duck溫柔地分享餅乾,也分享另一種看法:即使擔心成真,也未必是壞結局。本書以幽默鋪陳焦慮心情,在笑聲中安放不安,是談論情緒與友誼的理想讀本。Bear finds that even when his wildest (cookie-related!) worries come true, things will be okay.
