Illustrated by
Kate Duke.
With admirable initiative, each bear in a family of six finds a satisfying way to enjoy Saturday afternoon: reading, coloring, playing school, baking and eating bread, going for a solitary walk, and for the youngest, drawing on the wall. Devoting a chapter to each bear, Baker writes with humor and understanding, and Duke is an expert at capturing the right gestures and expressions.
