Hey, Boomer!
This girl at school named M.N. likes me. She said I am cool, and that my art is amazing. But she never saw my art. What should I do? :)
Your friend, B.K.
Boomer,
Hi, it’s me, M.N. I like this boy, B.K. He’s really cute but i.d.k. if he likes me back. He’s on your blog, too. Should I talk to him?
Bye, M.N.
Dear M.N. & B.K.,
You’re gonna go crazy chasing your tails like this. You both like each other, so obviously it’s time to talk and have fun! And B.K.—your art really is as good as she says.
Best of luck,
Boomer Bear
Dear Bear,
I like that polar bears live in Alaska. I like that their mouths are very powerful and that they are one of the most deadly animals. I like the color of your fur because it is white. I like polar bears because they are big, fluffy and like cold water. I like polar bears because they have a good diet. I like them because they drink Coca-Cola. I like them because they are like angels, and they like to eat sushi.
What do you like most about polar bears? Do you have friends? What are some of their names? What are your mom and dad’s names?
Thank you, Room 28
Hello, Room 28.
I love that you’re into my new blog. Thanks for the thoughtful (and funny) words. What I like most about polar bears is that I am one!
I have thousands and thousands of young readers whom I consider to be my best buddies. From Norma in Nogales to Frank up in Flagstaff, I have friends and fans everywhere! As for my folks—I just call them mom and dad.
Keep up the great work,
Boomer Bear
What’s up, Boomer?

Hi Boomer,
I’m having a problem with math, and now I got a C in it. I keep thinking that I’m going to pick up my grades, but I can’t.
Please help, M.V.
Stick with it, M.V.,
You’re a very conscientious student. Start with your math teacher for some ideas and even some extra problems to practice. Math isn’t easy for me, either. But I know that if I don’t give up, I eventually get it!
Best of luck,
Boomer Bear
Hey, Boomer!
My family and I were riding bikes when we saw a snake eating its prey.
We could (only) see the animal’s foot—it was totally “rat”ical!
Your friend, G.B.
Dear G.B.,
Wow, that’s just like one of those nature shows on “Animal Planet.” What kind of snake didja see?
Go wild!

Dear Boomer,
I really like this boy named T.R., and I like him more than any boy I have ever met. But, sometimes I feel like I scare him because I like him too much. But, then sometimes he acts really sweet, and it makes me think that he likes me a lot, too, but he can’t just admit it. What should I do?
Your friend, D.R.M.
Oh my, D.R.M.!
Sounds like you’re head over heels for T.R. Since he shows some interest in you, you might want to take a step back and give him a bit more space so you don’t scare him off. Take a deep breath and try to be yourself!
Best of luck,
Boomer Bear
