Where's Bearry?

Author Joe Gatto
Illustrated by Luke Flowers
Joe Gatto—comedian, actor, producer, and star of the hit series Impractical Jokers—makes his picture book debut with this hilarious and heartwarming bedtime adventure about a boy's quest to find his missing stuffed bear, brought to life by exciting illustrations from Luke Flowers.

After a long day of play, Remo has brushed his teeth, put his pajamas on, and gotten into bed, ready to sleep. Nothing can separate him from the sweet dreams he’s about to have. Except… where’s Bearry?!

Remo NEEDS his stuffed teddy bear to sleep. Not only does Bearry protect him from monsters, spiders, and sharks, but he’s great at cuddling and keeps the bad dreams away. He’s the perfect best friend and now he’s missing!

With bedtime looming and his emotions racing, will Remo be able to take some deep breaths, calm himself, and continue his search? Or will Bearry be lost forever?
Joe Gatto (he/him) grew up in Staten Island, New York, where he learned the importance of family, friendship, and food. His imagination blossomed at a young age and led him down a creative path. Joe’s work now spans across television and cinema, most notably the Impractical Jokers franchise. Joe has been writing for as long as he can remember and released his first published book, The Dogfather: My Love of Dogs, Desserts and Growing Up Italian, in 2020. A proud family man, Joe loves eating pastries, spending time with his two children, and hanging out with his pack of rescue dogs, which are affectionately known as the “Gatto Pups.”

Luke Flowers (he/him) is a Colorado native and award-winning illustrator of over fifty books. Some of his notable illustrations include the New York Times best-selling A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, the Goodreads Choice Award of 2019 Finalist Unicorn Day, and the Moby Shinobi book series, which has sold over one million copies. He lives with his wife and children in Colorado.
