When monster Yellowbelly begins school, he takes along his best friend, small purple bear Plum--with anxiety-producing results, after Plum goes missing. Readers will delight in the contrast between the narration, which treats Plum as though he's alive, and the matter-of-fact illustrations, which suggest that, unbeknownst to Yellowbelly, Plum is a stuffed animal.
