This picture book is a zany romp as the reader engages in an escalating search for the elusive titular ursine beast. Featuring an attention-hogging duck, an embarrassed giraffe, a pun-spouting hare, an outraged reptile, a plethora of other avians and one bewildered author and illustrator, this book is as amusing as it is original. The game starts on the front cover where the aforementioned duck spoils the reader. This is one aggravated bird, determined for stardom like the Looney Toons Daffy Duck, and his commentary and antics are the linchpin of this crazy search. It’s quite simply a lark, a fun story livened with goofy illustrations to go along with its wandering prose. Kids will adore it and parents may get a kick out of it, too.
