Summary
In this story a little girl is looking for her lost bear. Her parents wont help her because they want her to be able to find things on her own. She looks everywhere and can't find it. Then she gets distracted because she finds other things that she had lost. Then when were mother says its time for bed she remembers that she couldn't find her bear so she starts crying because she felt so bad that she forgot about it. Then she asks her mom again if she would help her find it. In the end the bear was found in the girls bed under the blanket.

Personal Reaction:
I thought that this book was really cute and really funny and dramatic. I really liked the use of color. For example, when she is so upset that she is giving up the illustrator made everything black and white. The background was black and the girl was white and she had a single white tear running down her face.

Potential problems:
I couldn't find any potential problems.

Recommended to...
I would recommend this book to a child that is upset because he or she cannot find their toy.
