About the Story
Everyone knows the bear came over the mountain to see what he could see, and now you can see what happened next. When this hapless bear visits his friendly neighbor, the afternoon is full of hilarious surprises. He came over to do what he could do (he flew), get what he could get (wet), think what he could think (I stink!), wear what he could wear (a chair?), and more. His exuberance propels him from one sticky mishap to another, amusing all of the animals in his path. Rick Walton and James Warhola play with language and page-turns in this lively take-off of the favorite Americana tune. The fun is sure to make kids want to enjoy this bear’s visit over and over again.

The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
