A fun and interesting book. I am not in love with it... but my kids like it quite a bit. It is interesting because it takes children on a journey through woods, fields, swamps, etc. to go find a bear. All along the way, there are funny sounds to show the different obstacles on the journey... woods, fields, swamps, etc. These sounds enhance the stimulation of the journey. As the journey reverses itself, the story repeats the words, sounds, places and experiences for enhanced learning.The pictures are good, but a little dull - but the kids still enjoy them. And, the surprise ending is fun to rush through for more excitement.Overall, a good book, fun and a little bit silly.
