Illustrated by
Jim LaMarche.
In this cozy fantasy about the pleasures of reading aloud, a woman reads stories to a bear who lives in the woods by her cabin. When the woman leaves the cabin at the end of the summer, she gives the books to the bear, who brings them back to his cave. Soft, muted illustrations complement the tranquil text.
