Bear Hunt
Written and Illustrated by Anthony Browne
Published by Puffin Children's Books
More bears but this one's not a menacing picnic-stealing bear, he's a very clever and artistic bear with a magic pencil who can draw himself out of trouble at the drop of a hat. If you're used to Anthony Browne's surreal artwork and slightly off-kilter storytelling from the "Willy" books, 'Bear Hunt' feels entirely different (and slightly less risque!)
Great psychedelic artwork (check out some of the very weird plants growing in the background of each frame).
Charlotte's best bit: Bear drawing a Rhinocerous
