Brother Hugo and the Bear by Katy Beebe

5.0

I heckin loved this book. The charming story is perfectly complimented by detailed "illumination-style" illustrations. The faux-Middle English prose was a fun nod to classic medieval romances, and the end made me laugh out loud in the library. If you're reading with younger children, have them help you find the bear in every picture!

As an adult, I don't know that I'm exactly the target age here, but I don't think younger me would have appreciated as much what a love letter this story is. Hope to read it to my own kids/nieces/nephews/clone children/whatever someday
