Hey Boomer,
I’m having some problems at school. As you know, it’s summer vacation, which means when school gets back in, I get a new teacher. I hear that my new teacher is really mean. Plus, I’m in a class without my friends. I’m thinking if I don’t get my teacher switched to the other really nice teacher, I will move to a different school. What should I do? Should I switch schools?
Your friend, L.K.
Dear L.K.,
I faced the same thing a couple years back! It seemed all my buddies got the cool teacher while I was stuck with the one everyone warned me was mean. You’re gonna do well with ANY teacher—you’re smart, friendly and always do your schoolwork. As it turns out, my teacher and I got along super; I kept my old friends and made a bunch of new ones that year!
Be Brave, Boomer Bear
Boomer Bear,
Right now my dog is sleeping on my lap and I feel concentrated and ready to set my mind free even though MY DOG IS SLEEPING ON MY LAP! :)
Your friend, A.E.
Dear A.E.,
Sounds like you’re having one of those deep, sort of meditative moments! Didja reach any higher level of being or enlightenment? Did your dog ever get off your lap, or are the two of you still sittin’ there? You’re awesome!
O-o-o-hm! O-o-o-hm!

Dear Boomer,
What do you think about Michael Jackson and his death?
Sincerely, M.B.
Dear M.B.,
I felt sad when I heard the news that Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, had died suddenly in his Los Angeles home.
What an incredible entertainer! His music, dancing and costumes made for unforgettable performances. And those music videos he starred in are short movie masterpieces.
Despite all his success in the music biz, his personal life seemed very troubled. Sometimes his life seemed to spin out of control, which left fans wondering what was wrong. I don’t think Jackson ever quite figured it out.
Your buddy,
Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
I just love your newspaper—you make it especially for kids! I really like the front cover that has hidden pictures. Maybe you could add more contests and coloring pages to the newspaper. Maybe even a few jokes each week. You’re an awesome and a very cool bear!
Your fan, H.D.
Dear H.D.,
Thanks for such a flattering letter. If you make my head any bigger, it’s not going to fit through the doorway! These fun and phenomenal front covers of me are painted by my super-talented art director, Gary Shepard. He creates each front cover using watercolor! As for more contests and coloring pages, I’ll do my best.
Your best buddy,
Boomer Bear
Dear Boomer,
There’s this really pretty girl at school that I like, but she doesn’t like me. I don’t know if it’s because how I look or how I act. She is really pretty. Please help!
Sincerely, M.V.
Dear M.V.,
Sounds like this girl’s good looks have you head over heels for her. There could be a number of reasons why she doesn’t like you back. She might not like the fact that you write to polar bears for advice! Seriously, just be yourself around her—maybe she’ll look your way and maybe she won’t. This should take the pressure off of you.
Best of luck,
Boomer Bear
