(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Jutte. A boy's vivid imagination takes him on a late-night bear hunt to protect his mother. Young adventurers will cheer Liam as he outwits his opponent and ends up safely in bed. The text's creativity ("Liam rushed to Mama...but she was snore asleep") amplifies the escapade. Childlike ink, watercolor, and acrylic illustrations blend the worlds of make-believe and reality.
