I wasn't able to get an interview on this one as Benjamin Chaud is French. But I still had to share this beautiful book with you, republished in English in the US by Chronicle Books. It's called THE BEAR'S SONG. Along with being a little bit like WHERE'S WALDO, and a little bit like a sweet bedtime read, the artwork is stunning and will keep you staring for hours! (I like the original French cover too, don't you?)(Click this image to see it larger in a new window.)
Papa Bear and Little Bear are supposed to be hibernating. But Little Bear is too wiggly and takes off after a honey bee.
(Click this image to see it larger in a new window.)
It leads him into the city and into an opera house (of course).
Where Papa Bear sings a lullaby to find his son. (And scares the bejeezers out of everybody else there.)
GIVEAWAY!Lucky us, Chronicle is giving away one free copy of THE BEAR'S SONG to one of my lucky commenters! (Must live in the US or Canada to win.) Enter below.
