Brother Hugo and the Bear

32 pp. | Eerdmans | March, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5407-0 $17.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. When a bear eats the collection of St. Augustine's letters that Brother Hugo had borrowed from the monastery library, the abbot makes him create a new one. Inspired by a note on a twelfth-century manuscript, this humorous tale is lavishly illustrated with watercolor and ink in the style of medieval illuminated manuscripts. The sophisticated vocabulary and erudite topic necessitate the helpful back matter. Glos.
