Synopsis
A hibernating bear awakens to find himself smack dab in the middle of a sprawling industrial complex! To make matters even worse, every one he meets keeps insisting that he's not even a bear -- just a silly man who needs a shave and wears a fur coat. 46 illustrations., 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., "A fable for grownups that will be fun for children. Sit down with the book and get your own bearings." -- New York Herald Tribune 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. Written by the beloved director of such classic screwball comedies as The Girl Can't Help It and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? , 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. Tashlin's forty-six delightfully original and whimsical illustrations add to the charm of this unique and entertaining fable., "A fable for grownups that will be fun for children.

    Excellent eBay seller with good communications!!! Book came as described (GOOD condition), reasonably packaged (plastic mailer bag with 3 other books), and in very good time considering free shipping (projected delivery 5/7 thru 5/12; rcvd 5/10). Have purchased multiple books from SecondSalecom, and have been quite satisfied with the quality, appearance, and value of those purchases. Will definitely check their selection for future book purchases. Thanks, SecondSalecom!

    I had a positive experience with this seller. I did receive an incorrect item in my package, but when I reached out to the seller about the problem, they responded in a timely manner and resolved the issue. Items were packaged in a bag but arrived in good condition as described. I am very happy with the condition of the books I received. Great value. I have already placed additional orders with this seller. Thank you!
