A funny and imaginative read-aloud

A mother is surprised when her son tells her that there is a bear standing outside their door. How did the bear get all the way from his cave in the forest to their eleventh-floor apartment? And what is it doing here in the middle of the city?

This sweet story of a wacky chain of events will appeal to young readers who like to make up their own tall tales.
