Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3?This story is perhaps an attempt to explain the strength and healing powers of the bear, an important symbol in Pawnee culture. A man saves the life of a stray cub, and then names his own son Little Bear in memory of the event. As the child grows, his spiritual bond with this animal becomes evident. When he is older, he is killed by enemies of the tribe, but the grizzlies find him, return him to life with the aid of the sun, nurse him back to health, and leave him with their secrets of healing. Chapman's full-page oil paintings show the Western Plains as they were in the past. Each illustration is a full scene from the story, creating the effect of a series of movie stills broken only by a small, beige box of text in one corner of each page. A brief introduction to Pawnee life and customs is appended. An interesting and informative glimpse of a Native American culture that will be useful for independent reading and in classrooms, as well.?Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH
