BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A shy girl protects herself by imagining that she is a bear on the outside. The girl and the bear do everything together (except swimming lessons).
Jane Yolen's minimal text is perfectly paired with Jen Corace's great illustrations. You can see the girl inside the bear, and both look like they are really enjoying themselves. A great metaphor for taking care of your inner self, and finding a way to be brave, or feel in control. By the way, this is Yolen's 400th book.
