librarybonanza 's review for:
Brother Hugo and the Bear
by Katy Beebe
Age: 1st-4th grade
Although starting this picture book can be quite hard to get into (because Beebe uses bits of Shakespearean and medieval language) the story is unique and suspenseful. This would be a perfect book for discussing early forms of writing, the creation of books, and a glimpse into a monastery. The ending is certainly unsatisfying because the bear eats Brother Hugo's hard work, but older kids won't mind.
