Alexander Lee Price, age 4, was at the zoo near Wytheville, Virginia when he saw Garfield and his friends. Kelly, Erin and Josh knew how much Alex loved Garfield. "I lost my teddy bear, Pooky," Garfield sighed. "He was with me when I was eating ice cream, and now he's gone." "Are you sure you didn't eat him?" asked Nermal. "Quiet, Nermal," snapped Garfield, "or I'll sit on you." "I'll help you find Pooky!" said Alex. Alex pointed to the ground. "Look, footprints! Whoever made these may have bearnapped Pooky." (Page 3)

Alex and Garfield followed the footprints. "Will we find Pooky here?" Arlene asked. "I hope we don't find a swamp creature instead," said Nermal. "Arf!" Odie barked. He wanted to play ball. "Not now," Garfield said, "I have to look for Pooky" "Arf!" Odie barked again. "Oh, all right," Garfield said and threw the dingle ball. Odie smiled and chased after it, running into the crocodile swamp. "Uh-oh! Watch out for that croc, Odie!" Alex shouted. (Page 5)

Garfield heard a loud trumpeting sound. "Elephants!" Alex cheered. A big mama elephant was giving her baby a bath. The elephant sprayed water from her trunk, splashing Nermal. Luckily, Garfield and Alex ducked just in time and didn't get wet. "Hey Nermal," Garfield said, "how did you like your bath?" "Yuck! This is worse than Odie's drool," whined Nermal. "Hey," said Garfield. "Where is Odie?" (Page 7)

"Let's keep following the footprints," Alex suggested. Garfield and Alex walked by the monkeys, who were swinging in the trees and eating bananas. Nermal made a silly face. "I look like a monkey," he said. Garfield teased, "You smell like one, too." A monkey squeezed a banana in each hand. Pop! Pop! The tasty fruit shot into Garfield's open mouth. "Gulp! Gulp!" the fat cat said. "You can't feed the animals, but there's no rule that says they can't feed you!" (Page 9)

Suddenly, Odie appeared, carrying the dingleball in his mouth. "We thought the crocodiles got you," Arlene smirked. "Let's look for Pooky in the bird sanctuary," Alex said. Alex walked with Garfield and his friends across a rope bridge. Brightly colored birds flew through the air. One with a wiggly worm in its beak landed on Garfield's head. "I think the bird wants to share her food," said Alex. "Yuck!" exclaimed Garfield. "I prefer lasagna. All this walking is making me hungry. Let's stop for a quick snack." (Page 11)
