Goodreads review by Dawn on June 17, 2018

Everything about this book is beautiful. It is a great reproduction of the original, including the many illustrations and the text. Not only do we learn about the raccoon and the bear (the “little brother” to the bear), but we also learn much about the woodcock, the lynx, the toad, the bear, the kin......more
