The Bear Who Wasn't There

40 pp. | Roaring Brook | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-970-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 A large cast of cartoon animals (including a self-involved duck, a mischievous mouse, plus the author herself) help an unseen narrator search for a bear who isn't anywhere in the book...or is he? With each witty page turn, both the suspense and silliness build; the text, speech-bubble conversations, and dynamic illustrations cleverly play off one another in this captivating metafictional romp.
Reviewer: Aimee Chevrette Bear
