About the Author:
Joanna Harrison is a contributor for Ryland Peters & Small titles
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2?In this English import, Katie is convinced that a bear lives under the stairs in her house. At her mother's suggestion, she writes him a letter to "tell him to go away." The next morning she receives a response from the bear, saying that he's gone on vacation and will be back Monday. When she reluctantly returns from school on Monday she finds a gift from him: a bear in a snow-filled glass dome. When she learns that he has a cold, Katie and her mother prepare a tray for him. The little girl then receives an invitation to tea, and when she arrives under the stairs, she finds a large teddy bear sitting on a note asking to live with her from now on. The short, simple text is carefully placed on the page so as not to detract from the pictures, which essentially tell the story. The cartoon illustrations are rendered in bright, clear colors. The layout varies; several pictures are full-page, while some are half-or third-page pictures. Katie's fear is effectively conveyed by her wide-eyed expression and furrowed brow, and large shadows add to her fearfulness. The huge bear she imagines is humorously portrayed, e.g., camping or snorkeling on vacation, blowing his nose on a towel. Many children will identify with Katie and her fears, and find some comfort in the solution. Similar in concept to Dick Gackenbach's Harry and the Terrible Whatzit (Clarion, 1979), this book will have bibliotherapeutic uses. It is also a good story for one-on-one or group sharing.?Cynthia K.
