(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher & Lou Fancher. A little girl prowls through the house beneath a brown hooded coat, pretending to be a bear, while, on facing pages, rhythmic rhyming text and spot illustrations of a grizzly mirror her actions. Juxtaposed with the text, the cozy, shadowy paintings of the girl-as-bear eating dinner, taking a bath, and getting ready for bed make for a sensuous portrait of imaginative play.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
