Jasper's Story: Saving Moon Bears

40 pp. | Sleeping Bear | January, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-798-6 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen. This book focuses on one bear, Jasper, that was rescued by Jill Robinson from bear bile farming in China. Detracting from the nonfiction aspect of the book are the sentences sprinkled throughout the text attributing emotions to the moon bear: "He embraced his new life, and he seemed to have forgiven the past." Competent, carefully crafted art illustrates the well-intentioned story.
