Where Bear?

(4) K-3 A bear cub outgrows their home, so its little-boy owner searches for an appropriate place "where [it] can be bearish and big." The simple narrative doesn't really go beyond this premise, each refused proposition followed by "Then where, bear?" The refrain is catchy initially but, like Bear, is soon overgrown. Henn's stylish illustrations on matte, subdued-colored pages keep things interesting.
