Bear is happily painting a picture when two fine, proper gentlemen approach and begin critiquing his work. But Bear knows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the only person that his picture needs to impress is himself. This spring this classic tale is brought to new life by the award-winning illustrator D. B. Johnson, who imbues the pages with vibrant colours that perfectly highlight the book's simple but bold message. Daniel Pinkwater and D. B. Johnson turn art (and art critics) upside down in this witty, winning tale about independent thought, self-expression, and learning how to ignore the naysayers.
