Big Bear's Big Boat

(4) PS Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. In the sequel to Little Bear's Little Boat, following the advice of other animals, Big Bear adds extra features to his big-boat-in-progress, and he isn't pleased with the messy results; he lets his friends down easy ("A bear should never let go of his own dream"). The cloying moments detract from the simpler-is-better theme, reflected in the subdued pen-and-ink and digital illustrations.
