A Brave Bear

(4) PS Illustrated by Emily Hughes. On a hot day, a young bear persuades his dad to head down the mountain to the river for a swim; a slip off a rock (and subsequent hurt knee) interrupts their journey, but the little bear is determined to continue. The twee text is overly sentimental, but detailed pencil illustrations (digitally colored in woodland hues) depicting cartoony bears capture the close father-son relationship.
