They become more frightened (particularly dad and pooch, even from the outset) as they proceed along the increasingly murky path—except for the youngest, unicorn-outfitted child, who squeals a delighted welcome to whatever creature unexpectedly materializes. As in the classic original, evocative sound effects (“Gurgle hiss, gurgle hiss, gurgle hiss!”) ring out as the quintet moves through each hazard. . .  Even readers who’ve never read or heard about the bear expedition will appreciate this clever, comical, fast-paced take. . . Humorously brooding and sweetly endearing.\" —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003eMichael Rex has written and illustrated over 40 books for children, including the gruesomely hysterical, \u003ci\u003e#1 New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eGoodnight Goon\u003c\/i\u003e.
