Loved this book - an existential comedy, for inquisitive, imaginative kids. A very simple concept - which is summed up exactly by the title. The plot is fairly (deliberately) slight, but through the tribulations he and the bear suffer, it you see the boy maturing and learning to appreciate the important things. I thought Shelton judged this just beautifully - sometimes I thought things would work out a bit too conveniently, but he subverted my expectations well.
Also, this is a beautiful - and beautifully understated - edition of the book. The cover is lovely, like a solid, well-loved, travelling notebook. The corners have been artfully distressed, to give it just the right degree of batteredness. The binding and dimensions make it a lovely, tactile object. Also Shelton's illustrations are very nicely done - fun and evocative, with a very nicely restrained pallet, which helps just make the book feel like a beautifully realised, singular whole.
