Ten hairy hunters set off to find a bear, but one by one they disappear, captured by Bear's friends. The last one finds the bear but is scared away. This silly reverse counting book will be especially pleasing as a group read-aloud, and the rhyming text and bright illustrations of smiling monkeys, kangaroos, and tigers helping a friend are just suspenseful enough for a group of toddlers.
