PS
Bear sets out on a walk through the forest, magical pencil in hand. The lushly illustrated woods are full of disgruntled animals, but Bear fixes everything. In this simple yet matter-of-factly bizarre picture book first published in the UK in 1988, Browne makes the surreal accessible. The text consists almost entirely of Bear's musings, which are reminiscent of a young child at play.
