""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."" —BCCB Reviews
