(4) K-3 Translated by Marianne Martens. Buttons, angry at younger brother Bo, runs off into the forest, but Bo follows and they get lost. Buttons cleverly devises a game that Bo can play with him that will get them safely home. The overlong text tells a typical story of sibling rivalry--and love--but the illustrations featuring wide-eyed bear characters are full of atmosphere and feeling.
