In this fourth book about the amiable bear who stands in so capably for Thoreau, Henry spends a seemingly aimless yet productive day walking around Concord; in response to frequent queries, he says he's "walking to work." Readers will see that his walk, work, and writing are all one. The illustrations here are again both handsome and a graphic tour de force.
