The Boy and the Bear

Peter Stein

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 is in a panic. 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.
