Illustrated by
Megan Halsey.
Pierre and Granpere spend a day exploring the swamp, in search of the endangered Louisiana black bear. Told in loosely rhymed dialogue, the tale uses sophisticated language that is lyrical but sometimes awkward. The illustrations feature a camouflaged bear, as well as swampland flora and fauna, all identified on the endpapers. An endnote provides more information.
