Summary:

On his trip over the mountain, a bear has a series of misadventures.
 

Blurb:

The bear came over
to my house
To do what he could do.
And what do you think
the bear did?
He flew!

This is just the first of many surprises in store during this hapless bear's visit to his friendly neighbor. The bear's 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 takeoff of the American tune "The Bear Came Over the Mountain." The fun is sure to make kids want to enjoy this bear's visit over and over again.

 

Dedication:

To Mark, Jeanette, Kristina, Andy, David, Sara, and Aaron Ivie, who can come over to my house anytime.
