A bear is all alone at night and finds a thingity-jig, which is a couch. He begins to wake up all of his friends to talk about and them excited to see this cool thing that he found. The illustration is what makes the book. The blue hues makes you feel like you are in the night, right with the bear. This would be a great book for a classroom or to read to your child before bedtime.

Bear is not sleepy and decides to travel to people town. He quickly finds a strange object (couch) and wants to bring it home. He races back to woods and tries to enlist his friends to help him bring it home. They are sleepy and will wait until morning. Bear goes back and invents several machines to help him bring the "thingity-jig" home to the forest. Bear's creativity helps him finally get it home and enjoys a nap on the couch in the end.

This is a charming book that teachers could use in the classroom as a STEM read aloud. The students could then create a contraption to move something. The illustrations are very detailed and add to the story. I highly recommend this book for any classroom teacher!

A adorable story about a bear’s adventure in upcycling. The story follows a little bear’s journey into finding a “thingity-jig” and taking it home to show his friends, who unfortunately are all asleep. It’s a great story about upcycling and finding the joy in something old and making it something new. It’s a great read for kids and teaching them the fun of upcycling!
