Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what your teddy bear does when you're not home? Well, one little girl is determined to find out. She peeks, she spies, she even pretends to be asleep. But she can't ever seem to catch him doing anything. So she comes up with a plan that's sure to catch him, in a sweet and delightful surprise. The rhyme is contagious, and will keep kids laughing.

About this title

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K - In this story about the secret lives of toys, a golden-haired, pink-cheeked narrator ponders, "My teddy bear seems really sweet,/but maybe I've been fooled./I wonder what he does all day/when I am off at school." She decides to stay at home and spy on her friend but it proves rather difficult to spot the bear in motion. Determined, she repeats the refrain, "You wait. I'm gonna catch you!" In her quest, she feigns sleep, peeks through a keyhole, hides in a closet, and uses binoculars while perched in a tree. However crafty she is, the bear doesn't move a hair, blink an eye, or even turn his head to watch his favorite TV show. While diligently not taking her eye off him, she misses the antics of her other toys, in particular a pair of mice that young readers will enjoy locating on each spread. Muller's painterly illustrations, done in warm and glowing colors, are a wonderful complement to this sweet and simple story that explores a child's imagination. - Piper L.
