Trade Review
"This is a beautiful picture book made all the more poignant by being based on a true story of an autistic boy's search for his missing bear. Many children hearing the story will have come across enough missing toy stories to quickly predict that Jack will lose the bear - but the resolution takes a less expected path when Jack never gets his own Bear back." * Books for Topics *
