He found Barnaby, a large, fluffy brown bear with a shiny black nose and a friendly face wearing a small red bowtie, sitting sadly on a mossy log. Barnaby looked very worried because his big, rumbly growl had completely disappeared this morning. Every time Barnaby opened his mouth to say hello, only a tiny, soft squeak came out instead. Oliver decided right then that they would go on a grand adventure to find where the lost growl had gone.
