<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A hibernating bear awakens to find himself smack dab in the middle of a sprawling industrial complex where people think he's just a silly man who wears a fur coat. 46 illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A fable for grownups that will be fun for children. Sit down with the book and get your own bearings. -- <i>New York Herald Tribune<br></i>With the first signs of approaching winter, the Bear's thoughts naturally turn to a cozy cave and a long snooze till spring. But when he awakes a few months later, he is surprised to find himself smack dab in the middle of a sprawling industrial complex! To make matters even worse, everyone he meets keeps insisting that he's not even a bear--just a silly man who needs a shave and wears a fur coat.<br>Written by the beloved director of such classic screwball comedies as <i>The Girl Can't Help It</i> and <i>Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?</i>, this wryly humorous tale has long been an underground favorite with readers of all ages and attitudes. Poking fun at a fast-paced, high-tech society, it follows the Bear's repeated attempts of finding out just where he belongs. On an assembly line? In a zoo? At the circus? No one seems to know for sure.<br>Tashlin's forty-six delightfully original and whimsical illustrations add to the charm of this unique and entertaining fable.
