Bearskin
A Fantasy, Picture Books, Childrens book. This is one my children never tire of hearing--and of course the inventive and engaging...
Betrayed by his own father, the infant son of a lowly miller narrowly escapes death and is lovingly adopted by a faithful she-bear. Raised on her nourishing milk, the boy becomes the strongest man in the land -- and the only one brave enough to battle the kingdom's bloodthirsty three-headed dragon. Yet it is wit, not just courage and might, that the hero must employ to win his true desire: the delicate hand of a princess already betrothed to another.Nothing could be more delicious than the marvelous quest that ensues -- a tale of romantic valor, stolen glory, and sweet justice. Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman has created a pictorial drama that is alive with good humor and splendid characters as forever memorable as Howard Pyle's timeless story. Here is a winning revival from the classic book The Wonder Clock that will surely be savored again and again.

This is one my children never tire of hearing--and of course the inventive and engaging artwork of Trina Schart Hyman is part of the magic of this book. Great pictures but it bugs me when people (in this case the illustrator) purposely try to make the story diverse by having people different races when it doesn't make sense. For instance, the baby is white and a few but not all of his siblings are black and one looks Asian? I tell myself they're neighbor kids when I read the book. Anyway,...
