A STEAM-supporting, high-energy tale features whimsical wordplay and imaginative illustrations in the story of how a Bear uses upcycling practices to create tools to bring a special object from town back to his home in the woods.

From the publisher:
A bear's curious discovery leads to crafty inventions in this story-time romp filled with whimsical wordplay and themes of friendship, imagination, and STEAM. Under the light of a silvery moon, an inquisitive bear ventures into People Town, where he makes quite the curious discovery. What is this? A springy thing--a bouncy thing--a sit-on-it, jump-on-it thing! This Thingity-Jig is way too heavy to bring back to the woods by himself, however, so Bear runs home to tell his friends. But nobody wants to get out of bed to help! So Bear invents a Rolly-Rumpity to wheel the Thingity-Jig home, and then it all gets stuck in the mud. How will Bear tackle this bump in the road? With a Lifty-Uppity, of course! Reading specialist and former educator Kathy Doherty blends upcycling and STEAM in this delightful story of trial and error that teems with delightful wordplay--a true winner for any story time! Illustrator Kristyna Litten depicts a charming world between forest and city with detailed imaginative art and characters. A CCBC Choice
