In this story full of slapstick humor, a bumbling bear, noses around a campsite and accidentally unhitches Mr. Magee's camper from his Rambler, sending it careening into the river. It becomes lodged above a fifty-foot waterfall with Mr. Magee and his dog stuck inside. The smoothly flowing rhyme, accompanied by retro gouache illustrations, describes their silly, if a bit far-fetched, rescue.
