Critics Review
“Bentley takes readers on a thrilling, alliterative ride in this dryly comedic story about a reticent bear who becomes the unwitting inventor of the world’s first roller coaster… . Rendered in warm tones, thinly lined digital illustrations infuse forest scenes with golden rays as the animals’ eager, googly-eyed glee contrasts with Bear’s quizzical expressions. Bear’s fantastic forest attraction propels this amusing book to sensational heights.” – Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW “Bentley gives the bulbous-snouted inventor a hilariously skeptical expression throughout the book’s digital art, created with a sun-kissed woodsy palette. Wheeeee! A great ride.” – Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
