Bookroo's summary

Eddie's last woodland adventure revealed a bear the size of a house. Now, as his mom plans a picnic, she leaves Eddie alone to fetch a forgotten pie. Will the bear return, and what will happen when it does? With only his teddy for company, Eddie faces an unexpected encounter in the woods. Prepare for a hilarious and suspenseful tale where surprises lurk behind every tree.

From the publisher

The last time Eddie went for a walk in the woods, he had the biggest surprise of his life! There was a bear the size of a house in there! Now Eddie’s mom is in the mood to picnic in the wood–and she insists there aren’t any bears in there, (except Eddie’s teddy, Freddie). But when Mom forgets the blueberry pie, she runs home to get it while Eddie waits in the woods all alone! What happens next? Just guess! Hold on to your teddies, because Jez Alborough is back with another hilarious story about little Eddie and that oversized bear–and this time he’s hungry!
