Someone has STOLEN a delicious chocolate cake! Bear sets off to find the culprit, questioning characters and compiling clues from \u003ci\u003eA\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eZ\u003c\/i\u003e. Among the suspects: a gingerbread man (\u003ci\u003eG\u003c\/i\u003e) with a bite out of his head, a kite (\u003ci\u003eK\u003c\/i\u003e) that may be above the law, and an octopus (\u003ci\u003eO\u003c\/i\u003e) with grabby tentacles. But — hold on — are those \u003ci\u003ecrumbs\u003c\/i\u003e on Bear’s page? Is that \u003ci\u003efrosting\u003c\/i\u003e on his face? Looks like our narrator is a little unreliable! And it appears our culprit might be the one that Bear wants readers to suspect the least of all. . . . Author Eoin McLaughlin’s sly, cheeky humor takes the alphabet book to inventive new heights, while best-selling illustrator Marc Boutavant’s smart and striking graphic-style art matches the irreverent tone. Young ABC learners and older fans of funny stories will laugh out loud at Bear’s uproarious “investigation” and his anything-but-usual suspects.","brand":"Eoin McLaughlin","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Picture book","offer_id":31712944160830,"sku":"9781536212679","price":22.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0112\/1065\/3760\/products\/BNCImageAPI_d0250b2a-7891-4cf0-92a0-b0591745c67d.jpg?v=1587173576","url":"https:\/\/onceuponabookstore.ca\/products\/9781536212679","provider":"Once Upon a Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
