PreS-Gr 1—Bear wakes up in the morning, packs his suitcase, and meets his friend at the train station for some fun up in the mountains. Children follow their journey out of town and through the countryside, until they reach their destination where they hike and sail. Even when it rains, they enjoy themselves. The time is illustrated digitally at the bottom of each spread; at the end of the book, the clocks show time in an analog format. The colorful illustrations in paint, pencil, ink, and crayons are bright, bold, and buzz with energy, and children will enjoy poring over the many details. With one or two sentences to a page, this book will serve armchair travelers and beginning readers alike.—Anne Beier, Hendrick Hudson Free Library, Montrose, NY
