Lucy tugs on a mysterious string and discovers Hank, a bear with unraveling pants. As she scrambles to fix his wardrobe malfunction, Lucy hopes to win Hank's trust and friendship.

From the publisher

When Lucy spots a string, she can’t help but give it a yank, and before she knows it, she meets Hank! But this bear isn’t quite sure what to make of Lucy, especially because the string is attached to his pants, and they’re unraveling fast! Now Lucy must dream up the perfect solution to Hank’s missing pants, and hopefully win this dubious bear’s heart along the way.
