Jane Chapman.
Bear, out looking for a snack, gets lost on the way home. His friends, worried by his absence, form a search party, go out into the stormy night, and find him only ten feet from his den. Storm-swept illustrations and the refrain "the bear feels scared" contribute to the story's tension, while Bear's fans will be reassured by the familiar characters and format.
