Summary

An inquisitive bear ventures into People Town, where he makes quite the curious discovery. What is this? A springy thing-a bouncy thing-a sit-on-it, jump-on-it thing! It's a bit too cumbersome to bring back to the woods, however, so Bear runs home to tell his friends. But none of his friends are willing to help, so Bear invents a "Rolly-Rumpity" to wheel home the "Thingity-Jig." Through trial and error-and lots of shooing away from sleepy friends-Bear finally wheels the "Thingity-Jig" home to the woods, where he graciously shares his find. Reading specialist and former educator Kathy Doherty blends upcycling and STEAM with a delightful story and wordplay in this charismatic picture book that's ideal for read alouds. Illustrator Kristyna Litten brings the charming world to life with detailed, imaginative art and characters.
