Bear can't find his glasses. He must have left them at Giraffe's house.

On the way over, Bear sees all kinds of animals he didn't notice last time: an elephant, a crocodile, a flamingo, a deer. And who's this long spotty snake lying on Giraffe's deckchair?

The patient Giraffe finds Bear's glasses—right where glasses always get lost, perched on his head. Then Bear takes Giraffe to meet these wondrous animals that he found on the way.

Leo Timmers' details are full of expression and humor—the angle of Giraffe's neck and lift of his eyebrows, hiding his skepticism as he helps his friend, the dear, artless bear.

Through an ingenious telling of this classic comical situation, Leo Timmers shows us how to enjoy the world through different eyes.

Reviews for Bear's Lost Glasses

""Timmers's stunning mixed-media images, with clever details and surprises that make multiple readings a treat, are a playful reminder that it's not just what we see that matters but how we choose to see it.""—The New York Times Book Review ""Readers get to enjoy their own comparative outlook, the silliness of Bear's near-misses, and the satisfaction of a running gag resolved.""—Publishers Weekly ""A humorous, delightful tale about finding wonderful new ways to see the world.""—Kirkus Reviews
