内容简介:First published in 1972 with illustrations by the author, Bear’s Picture (April 2008; Houghton Mifflin) by Daniel Pinkwater tells the tale of a bear with a creative streak and a mind of his own. Bear is happily painting a picture when two fine, proper gentlemen approach and begin critiquing his work. But Bear knows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the only person that his picture needs to impress is himself. This spring this classic tale is brought to new life by the award-winning illustrator D. B. Johnson, who imbues the pages with vibrant colors that perfectly highlight the book’s simple but bold message. Daniel Pinkwater and D. B. Johnson turn art (and art critics) upside down in this witty, winning tale about independent thought, self-expression, and learning how to ignore the naysayers. A bear continues to paint what he likes despite criticism from two passing gentlemen.
作者简介:Daniel Pinkwater?ives with his wife, the illustrator and novelist Jill Pinkwater, and several dogs and cats in a very old farmhouse in New York's Hudson River Valley.
