Though Billy is delighted as a bear-costumed entertainer careens through the house on a skateboard, eating everything in sight and popping balloons at his birthday party, Billy's stunned and dismayed parents are happy to see him go, especially when the entertainer turns out to be an actual bear. Dodd's high-spirited illustrations with wide-eyed characters carry the singsongy text and predictable plot twist.
