Illustrated by
Pam Paparone.
At bedtime, Julia plays with her three stuffed animals and her cat. In the imaginary world of Husher Town, a microdrama unfolds when Bear becomes the mailman but has no mail. All is resolved when Julia provides a sackful of "letters" (her homework papers) and packages for the animals. The rich, brushy acrylic paintings add zest to the slow-moving, quiet story.
