In his fourth book, Bear wishes on a star, then sits down to wait. His friends stop by to offer wish-fulfilling advice ("Close your eyes"; "Hold your breath"), and by the time night falls, Bear's gotten his wish. That wish is unsurprising, but the illustrations, which feature a pastel-colored sunset that deepens with each page turn, make the book stand out.
