Tiny was having a big party but where was Bina Bear? Tiny looked into a dark room and saw Bina pretending to be a lamp. Bina also pretended to be a table, a tree, a bookcase, an armchair, and some groceries in the kitchen. Tiny realizes that something is wrong with Bina. Will Tiny find out what is wrong and be able to help? 

Where is Bina Bear? is a humorous and sincere book about friendship and understanding. I enjoyed the simple text, and expressive illustrations. It did leave me with a feeling of sadness for Bina, so it's not a joyful story.
