Bear's Merry Book of Hidden Things

PreS-Gr 1—Bear has invited his animal friends over for a holiday party but has lost track of time and needs help finding everything required for the special celebration. There is still so much for Bear to find before his friends arrive. The items Bear is searching for in a "Where's Waldo"—like fashion include a horn, jolly gingerbread man, an unwrapped box, a holiday card, a red Santa hat, his ice skate, a Christmas stocking, a wreath, a big red bow, holly leaves, a golden jingle bell, a pinecone, a sled, a turtledove, a mug of hot cocoa, a Christmas candle, a sparkly star, a holiday lollipop, a red glass ball for this tree, a Christmas drum, a candy cane, and a peppermint. The 22 items are hidden on separate busy layouts for viewers to peruse. Among his adorable woodland friends are hedgehogs, foxes, owls and penguins. Dudás, a Hungarian artist who is known for his online seek-and-find cartoons, has created an engaging title that hits the mark, providing a festive and age-appropriate take on Bear's challenges.
