Illustrated by
Alison Edgson.
Four little forest creatures have a favorite storybook--it's the only one they own. When they find a new book dropped in the woods, they return it to its owner, Bear, resulting in a happy ending for all five bibliophiles. The well-paced text is full of gentle humor (including a "Goldilocks" riff). Softly textured, earth-toned illustrations emphasize the animals' highly expressive faces and body language.
