(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Roberts. A semi-authoritative narrator cautions a child walking in the woods about brown and black bears (e.g., "Pepper spray works on BOTH kinds of bears. It makes them dizzy. Or was it hungry?"). This witty book's exacting art amps up the dark humor: the concluding image of the kid's ransacked backpack is captioned with "Don't say I didn't warn you."
