This book is about Bear... so what happens when he doesn't show up on
his page? Who will find him? Will it be Giraffe, who himself seems to
always be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or Cow, or perhaps even
the author herself?
One thing's for sure--it probably won't be Duck. Duck doesn't seem
concerned that Bear is missing. In fact, he seems to be trying to steal
the show for himself! Duck would much prefer that the reader pick up his
own book, The Duck Who Showed Up. He even disguises himself as Bear in
an attempt to fool the reader. But after pages and pages of Duck's
antics and search-party chaos, Bear appears somewhere utterly
unexpected. In fact, it looks like someone may have tried to get rid of
him on purpose....
LeUyen Pham's The Bear Who Wasn't There takes readers a hilarious
search for the missing title character.
