Stella and the Berry Thief

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Loek Koopmans. Scrooge-like Stella never shares her prizewinning raspberry pies and preserves. After she contends with the bear who starts stealing her berries, she mends her ways. While the story will hold readers' attention, the reason for Stella's change of heart is murky. The sunlit, green-and-yellow-hued watercolors depict a grizzly bear instead of the black bear named in the text.
