Illustrated by
Amy Bates.
A haphazard chain of events takes a beloved teddy bear from stroller to beach to ocean and so forth, then back into the arms of its young owner. Gorgeous textured watercolor and pencil spreads show portraits of each new "finder" opposite that character's encounter with the bear. The rhythmic, rhyming text keeps the story sailing along to a satisfying and snuggly ending.
