The Rabbit and the Bear: A Christmas Tale

(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. A bear deep in winter sleep is dreaming of the Nativity when a rabbit running from hunters jumps into his cave. They discuss the bear's dream, with the rabbit supplying a short interpretation of the Christmas story. Soft watercolors mostly in shades of blue, white, gray, and brown illustrate this subdued and sentimental tale.
