O'Neill, Philomena

K-3
A wild bear recognizes a child's distress over the loss of her special rag doll and carries it to her grandmother's house. As thanks, Willa leaves the bear a stuffed teddy; a final page shows animal and teddy cuddled up. This premise might work better if O'Neill had been less realistic in her depiction of the bear, but it's still an enjoyable security-object story.
