Bookroo's summary

A young girl embarks on a solo quest to find her missing stuffed toy, Bearsy, when her family offers no help. As she searches every nook and cranny, she uncovers more than she ever imagined. Will her determination lead to Bearsy, or something entirely unexpected? Join this spunky heroine on an adventure filled with surprises and resilience.

From the publisher

It’s not under the bed, or on the chair, or beneath the couch, or behind the curtains.It’s GONE! What do you do when your favorite toy disappears, and you can’t find it where you left it? What if your family is NO help at all? A determined little detective heads up the search, and discovers more than she ever expected! No one will help look for Bearsy. Mom’s too busy. Dad’s reading, and Sister’s grumpy. But when Jules Feiffer’s spunky heroine strikes out on her own to find her favorite stuffed toy, she discovers much more than anyone ever expected! With a simple text and bold, expressive pictures, here is a playful salute to a girl who won’t give up. 00-01 Young Reader’s Choice Award Program Masterlist
