This simple but beautifully illustrated picture book is about a boy and a bear. The bear has lived with the boy since he was a cub, but he is now fully grown. The boy, whose name we never find out, seeks to find a new home for the bear. As we turn the pages, we see the bear try out a variety of different homes that the boy suggests.
