Fergus Barnaby, a young bear, lives with his parents on the first floor of an apartment building. While packing for vacation, Fergus must collect various items he's loaned his friends in the building. Detailed, beautifully rendered illustrations show Fergus repeatedly travelling up and down to different floors. A textured cover and an unusually tall, narrow trim size add to the book's appeal.

PS
A confident elephant challenges a young (mixed-race) boy to hide-and-seek. The boy, with his dog's help, searches for the elephant indoors and out. Unlike the boy, viewers will have no trouble spotting the elephant, and they'll find humor in the mismatch of elephant and hiding places. The pictures, softly impressionistic at times and in splashy hues throughout, give a sense of movement.
