"The world is big and there's much to see,

and a bear must go where she wants to be.

And a bear as curious as me longs to gaze at the starlit sea!"

A book-loving bear sets off to see the world. She takes one special thing--her Bear's Big Book of Being Wise. But when she meets different creatures, each needing her help, she discovers that books aren't just brilliant at fixing problems-they can also help you make new friends. And if you're lucky, books can take you to a very special place indeed . . .
