Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as the bear begins to despond, a deer comes by and asks a simple question that sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this delicious take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humor -- and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJon Klassen \u003c\/b\u003ecreated illustrations for the popular series \u003ci\u003eThe Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place \u003c\/i\u003eand served as an illustrator on the animated feature film \u003ci\u003eCoraline.\u003c\/i\u003e His illustrations for Caroline Stutson's \u003ci\u003eCats Night Out\u003c\/i\u003e won the Governor General Award in 2010\u003ci\u003e.
