Description
A girl's search for her missing stuffed bear takes an unexpected turn as she checks in with her upstairs neighbors. By lifting postcard-size panels, readers can expand the book dramatically, scaling the apartment building alongside her. As she knocks on each door, flipping through the "pages" reveals the rooms and their occupants. A Japanese tengu watches TV with his family, while Santa has a pied-à-terre in one of the apartments. The girl's journey takes her to unexpected places, including a forest and an underwater landscape. In the end, she finds her bear on the roof, and as she descends back down the long staircase, readers are brought back to her cozy bedroom. This unique reading experience is both playful and engaging, making it a worthwhile adventure for young readers.
