Synopsis
Bear is a rambling musician. An entertainer. A legend. One Bear Extraordinaire.
Bear wakes up one morning with a song in his head, but something is missing. What’s a one-bear band to do? He travels the forest in search of his song and meets a few other musicians along the way, but even with their help, his song still feels incomplete. Will Bear find the perfect accompaniment and learn that every song sounds sweeter with friends by his side?
Jayme McGowan brings Bear and his merry band to life with intricate and innovative threedimensional cut-paper art that is nothing short of extraordinary.

Reviews
PreS-Gr 2—Bear is a "rambling musician" and composer who plays triangle, tambourine, xylophone, drums, harmonica, trumpet, and cowbell, but mostly guitar. Dressed in jeans and a red and white cap and carrying instruments and camping gear on his back, Bear meets a succession of other pants-wearing woodland animal musicians. Each of them adds something to Bear's unfinished song, except Wolf Pup, who fails at every instrument he tries. When the moon rises, however, Wolf Pup adds his voice, the very sound Bear had been missing all along. The story is a musically inflected version of the reams of picture books about finding one's individual gifts; the art is the real star here. Collage, drawing, and three-dimensional layered cut-paper illustrations photographed by the author-illustrator will reward close looking. The bright-eyed animals and their exquisite paper accessories (from buttons to s'mores) have a dollhouse charm. VERDICT This gentle, folksy tale will be a harmonious addition to many collections.—Sarah Stone, San Francisco Public Library
