This is an intelligent and entertaining picture book, with unique and fascinating illustrations. It carries a topical ecological message and includes added extras such as instructions for making paper aeroplanes. Look at pictures of real aeroplanes. Can you draw / paint some of these? Can you use the pictures as inspiration to decorate your own paper planes?

Have a paper aeroplane competition, using recycled paper to make your planes. Can you plan the competition? Which prizes could you award (e.g. furthest flight, highest flight, best decoration, best teamwork)? It's at the end that we learn of Bear's ambitions, and the compassion shown is so sweet. That end will make you smile, as will the practical "punishment" with Bear replacing what he destroyed.The book doesn’t have quite the same emotional grip of Lost and Found, Jeffers’s best book to date. However, there is much to be said for a picture book as thoroughly amusing and enjoyable as this. If you happen to be in need of a good winter mystery, particularly one that the small tots reading with you will be able to solve on their own, I can’t think of a better title to hand you. Purely enjoyment from start to finish.

It will require a parent to help interpret the minimal text, though.

The animals? homes are disappearing. Tree by tree, the forest is being cut down. Clues! There must be clues. For instance, look--there is a mysterious bear carrying an ax! But what would a bear want with so many trees? Perhaps the discarded paper airplanes littering the forest floor have a story to tell?Por otro lado, tanto la contraportada como la camisa de la edición especial guardan una grata sorpresa con la que entretener a los más pequeños. Ideas tan simples como el diseño de un avión de papel pueden llenar una tarde de risas o, si somos más atrevidos, podemos seguir las instrucciones con las que dar nueva vida a un papel usado por medio de su (re)fabricación. We arrived at school this morning to find that there were branches and sawdust scattered down the path leading to school! Where did they come from? I would say the pictures and the premise are for 2-5 year olds and then the court room with all it's language feels out of place. When life in the forest begins to change; when trees mysteriously lose their branches, when whole tree trunks start to disappear, when homes are lost, the only course of action for the forest dwellers is to begin a full scale investigation. Alibis must be proved, clues must be sought but even so, blame is never far from anyone's thoughts. On November 8, 1973, an F.B.I. agent reported to the director that the bureau had no proof tying the prime suspect to the theft. On December 6, 1973, the Justice Department replied to Anderson, declining his offer of help. It referred to the investigation as ongoing, and expressed concern that Anderson had destroyed the envelopes in which the photocopies were returned. In March, 1974, without officially closing the case, the F.B.I. effectively ended the investigation.

The change is sudden, dramatic, and puzzling. It may turn out that a divided Court is the legacy of Felix Frankfurter. But anyone seriously interested in pondering that legacy has got to wonder: Who raided his papers? Jeffers was born in Australia in 1977 and brought up in Belfast. He studied visual communication at the University of Ulster, and graduated in 2001. Jeffers became passionate about making picture books when he began to understand the subtle relationship between words and pictures –‘that was what excited me. Until I got really involved, I hadn't realised how just a few words can totally change the meaning of a picture.’ Now living in New York, he works as a painter, designer, printmaker and installation artist, but remains very busy making picture books.Something terrible is happening in the forest. Branches from trees are going missing overnight, and nobody knows what's going on. Everyone living in the forest gathers together to look at the crime scene, and to try to discover what has happened. Initially they blame each other, but after discovering everyone there has a solid alibi they continue their investigations to try and find the culprit. Design a new poster to advertise the paper aeroplane competition. Can you make a poster to advertise your own competition? I need you to know that I am not a bad bear and that I’ve just made a silly mistake. I’ve even seen some wanted posters with my face on them. I really hope that you can help me. From the illustrator of the #1 smash hit The Day the Crayons Quit comes a whodunnit just right for the youngest of readers (not to mention instructions for how to build the perfect paper airplane!) In 2007, Jeffers was the official illustrator for World Book Day, and in 2008 Lost and Found became Oliver's first book to made into animation by London-based Studio AKA.

After the animals find out who the culprit is the book turned even more fun. There was a trial, and then the animals decided to help the bear with his problem, which I found really nice of them. They could have easily stayed angry. Mrs Hughes: I’ve looked through the CCTV like you asked and there appears to be a large brown thing that has been cutting the trees down.A great story and lots of opportunities to use with a class. Older children could do their own version of the court case and put the bear on trial with a jury and judge deciding whether he is guilty or not and what his punishment should be. When the Senate confirmed Rehnquist’s nomination, Nixon called Rehnquist to congratulate him. He said, “Be as mean and rough as they said you were. Okay?” Rehnquist took a seat on the Court in January, 1972. In August, scholars using the Frankfurter papers at the Library of Congress began reporting to the staff that a great number of documents were missing.
