The Great Bear

40 pp. | Candlewick | July, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-5136-7 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Armin Greder. A circus bear must dance for crowds that often ill-treat her. Finally she rebels: she runs away (here the story becomes wordless) and climbs a pole that takes her to the sky, where, in a terrific turn, she becomes the constellation Ursa Major. Greder's blacks and browns capture the coldness of the medieval milieu and the townspeople's hearts.
