Bear on the Homefront

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Deines. Stuffed bear Teddy (A Bear in War) chronicles his experience accompanying English siblings William and Grace as they travel across Canada to stay with a host family for the duration of World War II. Oil paintings add warmth and emotional depth to the bear's sometimes awkward narration. A brief explanatory text follows the story and provides further historical context.
