Anita Jeram.
Sam the bear must take medicine to soothe his cough (Hck, hck!). His patient mother coaxes him to swallow the awful-tasting syrup, and then they spend a winter evening at home together. The loving relationship between mother and child carries the quiet, simple tale to its expected conclusion: a perfect snowfall. Acrylics rendered in warm golden tones enhance the overall feeling of coziness.
