Illustrated by
Stephanie Graegin.
Each time his back is turned, Thomas's cozy, newly constructed pillow cave is taken over by a bear. Thomas repeatedly lures it out with various tactics (blueberries, a back scratch, honey, etc.). Homey, warm-toned illustrations with smart perspectives deftly hide the ending's sweet reveal: a little boy in a bear suit who just wants to be with his older brother. Cave-building tips appended.
