To be a bear spotter you have to go for a walk in bear country. We’re told that chances are you won’t even see a bear, but our intrepid adventurer is actually one of the lucky ones; one of the doubly lucky ones, in fact. What follows is a chuckle-filled revelation of the differences between these species as the boy tries to find a way out. The problem is what works for one often doesn’t work for the other. Finally the boy has one last trick up his sleeve - backpack that is. The illustrations use mixed techniques in an upbeat comedic style that is visually playful, with lots of contradictory humour and tongue-in-cheek appeal for early readers.
