Product Description A bear decides to go for a swim and leaves his bearskin by the side of the lake, only to have Jezebel Jones come skipping along and try it on, but she is stuck in it and all she can say is GRRR!! From School Library Journal Grade 13?A bear leaves its skin by the side of a lake when he goes for a swim to wash his bones, and when Jezebel comes along and finds it, she can't resist slipping into it. Unable to take it off (only bears can unzip their skins), she seeks help everywhere but can only say, "Grrr." Told in rhyme, the story thumps along until at last, in the zoo, a wise elephant solves the problem for both girl and bear. The layout and juxtaposition of text and pictures are skillful enough and the illustrations do closely follow the text, but the cartoons, done in gouache and pen, make all the characters, even the animals, look alike with ovoid goggle eyes and open mouths. When children tell each other stories, they often come up with outlandish and slightly gruesome ideas, and this tale has the earmarks of a story that a child might invent. Unfortunately, here it comes across as silly and somewhat disturbing.?Karen James, Louisville Free Public Library, KYCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
