Synopsis
Where is Bear? Not here. Or there. Or anywhere! With wacky Seuss-ian art and rhyming text, a boy runs the gamut of emotion--love, sadness, fear, anger, resolve, and joy--when he loses his beloved Teddy bear, then finds it again.
The boy and the bear were always a pair . . . . until the boy found a goat in a coat, a huggable slug, a funky old monkey, a rodeo rat, a sing-along thing, and a tottering otter. The boy loses his bear and panics. "I WANT MY BROWN BEAR!" he cries. When the boy finally finds his bear, he returns the other toys, and the boy and the bear are a pair again.
This humorous, kid-pleasing story in verse touches on a wide range of subjects, including emotions, fear, love, loss, sadness, joy, resolve, facial emotion recognition (reading facial expressions), anti-materialism, and toys.
With a bonus Find-the-Feelings game!

Reviews
PreS-Gr 2-Just when one day seems as predictable as the next, something unexpected happens and changes everything. Meet the boy and his bear: an inseparable duo going about their daily adventuring. One day, a stuffed goat winds up in their path, and the boy collects him. Then a slug appears, and the boy collects him, too. Before long, so many new friends have found their way into the boy's arms that he is unable to carry any more. But where have they all come from? Will the boy and his bear ever get back to their normal life? From the very beginning, readers will not help but notice the overt homage to Dr. Seuss. The repetitive, rhyming text, zany backgrounds, and enjoyably designed descriptions of each character make this a joy to read aloud. Though written as a picture book, emerging readers will find this accessible due to its limited word choice and repetitive nature, although some of the vocabulary is rather advanced. Large, vibrant illustrations bring the story to life in both intimate and larger group settings. As an added component, the final two pages of the book include pictures of the boy's face with words to describe how the boy is feeling; it is up to readers to match each one, inviting a conversation about emotions along the way. VERDICT Early elementary children will love reading this contemporary Seussian story as they are learning about feelings and how to express themselves.-Mary Lanni, Denver Public Libraryα(c) Copyright 2011.
