First Star for Welcome Home, Bear
WELCOME HOME, BEAR
A Book of Animal Habitats
Author: Il Sung Na
Illustrator: Il Sung Na
Publisher: Knopf
Publication Date: July 7, 2015
ISBN ( Hardcover ): 978-0-385-75375-3
The text is spare, usually only a sentence on each spread, but carefully and engagingly written. Listeners can't help but sympathize with Bear in his frustration and rejoice when he finds the place that's "just where he wanted to be."
