Kono, Erin Eitter

Every Color

(4) K-3 When a seagull passes along word that a polar bear "longed for color" in his white world, a girl takes him on a sailboat journey. Wherever they stop (Big Ben, the Parthenon, etc.), he paints what he sees. Mailing his work home ensures that, upon Bear's return, he'll have a colorful life. Kono's spry illustrations lighten the load of her somewhat heavy-handedly allegorical story.
