"Bear had a dream...to make his friends laugh." But poor Bear has stage fright, and his debut flops. When hummingbird Emmy finds Bear's joke list, she entertains the crowd; a symbiotic partnership begins. Seven chapters divide the narrative into small segments, while numerous pencil and watercolor illustrations (both full-page and spot art) clarify the action and add depth to characterization.
