(4) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. While exploring a shoreline iceberg, Bessie encounters a polar bear cub. As she and Snow Bear play, her older brother and the mother bear watch from distant overlooks, each wary of their kin's playmate. Finally, humans and bears peaceably go their separate ways. Though meant to be quietly evocative, the text often slips into a simplistic, plodding rhythm. The rich paintings, however, are uniformly striking.
