From Kirkus Reviews
With unerring simplicity and grace, the prolific Waddell fashions yet another Distinctive tale for the very young. The little bear is lost, but he knows what to do: since he's wearing a sailor suit, he'll go to sea. The boats look too big, so he finds himself a piece of a barrel; the sea is enormous, so he scouts out a peaceful stream, but even that grows unexpectedly rough and he capsizes. Wondering what to do next but still unperturbed, he's spotted by a little girl who takes him home. Now he's ``found,'' and again he knows what to do: ``he cuddled up...and he stayed.'' The self-reliance and childlike logic of this gentle toy character are truly appealing. Austin's understated rough pencil sketches, enhanced with watercolor, strike just the right note, depicting a storybook world broad enough for an imaginary adventure and cozy enough to come home to. A charming choice for lap or group. (Picture book. 2-6) -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-- A teddy named Small Bear, ``who was lost and had no one to play with,'' wonders what to do and, inspired by his sailor suit, builds a boat and goes to sea. Since he has a small boat, he needs a small sea, and finds one in the park. When a storm comes up, he is shipwrecked on the rocks, where he is discovered by a little girl who takes him home. There he decides, a la ``Corduroy,'' that ``I'm FOUND, and I have someone to play with, so I'll stay where I am!'' The simple, rhythmic text is accompanied by pencil and wash illustrations that convincingly show Small Bear's curiosity and perseverance. An additional purchase for active picture book collections. --Caroline Parr, Central Rappahannock Regional Library, Fredericksburg, VA
