Fastidious housekeeper Bear--with his stuffed friend, Ursa--searches high and low for the culprit spinning messy webs in his home. When Bear discovers the spider has woven a bandage for Ursa's torn arm, he ends up with "something he never expected": another friend. With chunky shapes and a subdued, tawny palette, the digitally colored charcoal and crayon illustrations capture the action throughout Bear's homey interiors.
