Review
This is the story of a bear who wakes up one morning in the forest and decides to look for a new place to live. He travels all over the world to different habitats and visits an orangutan, an octopus, a goat, a bird, a camel, a polar bear, a mole, and some hippos before returning back to the forest where he was meant to be. The illustrations are beautiful, but I found the ones with the mole underground and goat on the cliff to be confusing to me as they were more abstract.
Overall Book Score: very good
