Query: Nice pictures, hard to read

This is the story of a conversation between two old teddy bears. As such, there is no particular plot - indeed, the conversation doesn't really go anywhere either. Each bear makes statements which he doesn't seem to understand, then tries to explain what he means to the other bear. (For example, at the start of the book one bear announces that he is an Idle Bear, but doesn't know why. Several pages later he states that his owner was an Idle, and that's why he's an Idle Bear.)I found it very hard to read, as it didn't follow any plot or train of thought, and assume it would also be difficult to listen to. The Idle Bear has been translated into several languages, and so it must have an appeal for certain readers. The pictures of the two pondering bears are very lovely.
