Bear by Ben Queen

4.0

Bear is a guide dog who would do anything for his owner Patrick - and embarks on an epic quest from the forest to the city to regain his sight so he can protect his best friend. This story absolutely pulled at my heartstrings! The story plays with the idea of sight in different ways. For example, the dog is very good with places he’s been, but when he ventures off that path, it’s like he’s in a new world. We flash between what Bear is seeing and what is actually happening. This is part of what makes Bear such a great read as you start to piece these aspects together to understand what is going on. The characters are great, including the helpful and not so helpful side animal characters, and the art is wonderful.
