(3) K-3 Illustrated by Monique Felix. Alone in his beloved woods, Bear dances joyfully for his own pleasure. Men capture him, forcing him to dance for the entertainment of crowds. Clever Bear is eventually able to escape and return home. The theme, that all creatures deserve respect, is conveyed in simple, poetic prose. The powerful illustrations effectively play with scale to display Bear's personality and predicament.
