Editorial Reviews

"The disappearance of a beloved stuffie called Bearry sends a youth on a frenzied domestic hunt
in this exuberant rhyming story from Gatto and Flowers."
—Publishers Weekly

"Relatable bedtime fare."
—Kirkus Reviews

"The rhyming of the text makes for a soothing cadence that, despite the action-
oriented story, would be an optimal choice for a bedtime read... a good picture book to remind kiddos that the emotional turmoil can best be addressed with a clear mind."
