In this picture book from comedian Gatto, a little one embarks on a nighttime detective caper while also learning some calming techniquesTucked into bed, a light-skinned youngster with a mop of brown hair is almost ready to go to sleep, but something's missing. Eyes wide, mouth agape, the child wonders, "Where's Bearry?" The snuggly teddy is lost. Armed with a household map and magnifying glass and trailed by a pup sidekick, the tot searches high and low. "He's not in the playroom / with my robot and blocks. / He's not in the hamper / with all the stinky socks." More searching comes up empty, and the increasingly distraught narrator worries, "Maybe he took a trip on the ferry? / Oh no! I'm freaking out! // WHERE'S BEARRY?!?!" Luckily, the youngster remembers to take a deep breath and count down from three. These actions help soothe the intrepid detective, and suddenly, all becomes clear. (Spoiler alert: Bearry is found.) The jaunty, singsong text trips up a bit here and there but propels the mystery forward. Flowers' colorful art captures the wide range of emotions the youngster experiences: sadness, panic, serenity, and relief.Relatable bedtime fare.(Picture book. 3-6)
