A young bear begins to make claw marks on the floor during his usual “how to be a bear” lessons. Soon he’s collecting paper and drawing rocks, trees, clouds, birds, and even dinosaurs as he dreams of becoming an artist. With characteristic whimsey and lively watercolors, David McPhail portrays the unusual life of an artist who just happens to have been a bear, and tells how you can be an artist, too.
David McPhail is the acclaimed author and illustrator of more than one hundred and fifty books, including Henry Bear’s Park (Atheneum), Mole Music (Holt), and the beloved Pig Pig series (Dutton). He lives in Rye, New Hampshire.
