Illustrated by
Steve Jenkins.
In a comfortingly repetitive, cadenced text ("Can you hunt like a bear? / It's June. Find food. / But where?"), direct questions ask readers not only if they can eat but also search, gather, climb, and even bathe like a brown bear. Jenkins's torn-paper illustrations are reproduced with such clarity that one can almost grasp the thick, fuzzy fur of the bear.
