Synopsis

"The suspense is just scary enough for preschoolers, who will love the
pie-in-the-sky ending in which both the bear and Eddie's mother get their just desserts." — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

The last time Eddie went for a walk in the woods, he had the biggest
surprise of his life. There was a bear the size of a house in there! Now
Eddie's mom is in the mood to picnic — and she insists that the only bear in the woods is Eddie's teddy, Freddie. But when Mom rushes home to get the blueberry pie she forgot, leaving Eddie to wait in the woods all alone — well, can you guess who shows up?

About this title

About the Author:

A successful picture book author and illustrator, creator of the Eddy and the Bear series and Some Dogs Do.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2?Eddie is not anxious to accompany his mother on a picnic in the woods because he knows there's a hungry bear out there. Mom thinks he is being silly, and has no qualms about leaving him alone for a few minutes while she runs home to get the blueberry pie she forgot. Of course she's barely out of sight when the huge brown bear smells the food and Eddie has to jump into the picnic basket to hide. As the creature begins to look for dessert, in the basket, Mom returns and manages somehow not to notice it. In a classic slapstick scene, she stands with her back to the slavering animal, who snatches the pie and runs (teddy bear in tow) in one direction, while mother and son run in another. The rhyming text is neatly boxed on each panel of illustration, which may be one scene or more on each two-page spread. The large format and colorful cartoons make this a good choice for reading aloud. A stand-alone sequel to Eddie's earlier adventure, Where's My Teddy? (Candlewick, 1992).?Rosanne Cerny, Queens Borough Public Library, NY
