Publisher's Synopsis
While out foraging for winter, Ulysses comes across a picnic abandoned by some human campers. A persnickety toddler had refused to eat the spread, and Ulysses--being the inquisitive bear he is--decides to find out why. Read the story of a curious bear sampling the flavors of the human world. Each pair of pages features the story of Ulysses' odyssey, a relevant factoid footnote by C Jared Castor, and a full-sized image to be colorized with pencils. The moral (to give new things a try at least once) and the plot (adventurous exploratory lunching) are worth sharing with readers of any age. This book is 34 pages long and designed for a wide range of skill levels. Emphasis on vocabulary building and the integration of fact and fiction render Ursa Major an enticing educational tool.
