The Bear and the Piano

(3) K-3 A bear encounters a piano in the forest and learns to play. After he's discovered by humans, he goes to the city and plays sold-out concerts. Eventually, he misses his home and returns to find his bear friends waiting for him. This quiet, satisfying story about accomplishing one's dream and returning home fulfilled is enhanced by dramatic mixed-media illustrations.
