I think many young children will relate to this book because I remember growing up and having that one thing, whether it be a stuffed animal, blanket, or trinket, that I didn't let out of my sight for too long; Most children can relate to this story for that reason of having that special thing in which they never want to lose. the humor in this book of the boy consistently looking for his bear will keep children engaged. I felt it dragged on from page to page, but overall, I feel it wasn't a bad read, especially for children. ( )

I really do like this book. This book is great for a read aloud. So much expression from this little boy. He is searching so hard for his most prized possession. You are able to put so much more passion in the boys voice when reading it. Every child has their own one thing they had when they were little or still do. A teacher can have a show and tell after the book having all children share their favorite thing. ( )
