The Bear Who Wasn't There

Description

Bear has gone missing! When he doesn't show up in the book he's supposed to star in, his friends rally to find him. Who will find him first? Will it be Giraffe, who himself seems to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or Cow, or even the author herself? Duck doesn't seem concerned that Bear is missing. In fact, he seems to be trying to steal the show for himself! But after pages of searching high and low and everywhere between, Bear appears after all, somewhere utterly unexpected. LeUyen Pham's latest picture book invites readers to join the hilarious search for the titular missing Bear.
