But when he sets off to return the borrowed copy, he finds himself trailed by his hungry new friend. Once a bear has a taste of letters, it appears, he's rarely satisfied \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrother Hugo and the Bear\u003c\/i\u003e is loosely based on a note found in a twelfth-century manuscript -- and largely on the creative imaginings of author Katy Beebe. Lavishly illustrated by S. D. Schindler in the style of medieval manuscripts, this humorous tale is sure to delight readers who have acquired their own taste for books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eerdmans Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802854070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.77h x 9.43w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Parents Choice Awards (Spring) (2008-Up) - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2014 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2014 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Picture Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2014 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSLJ's Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e165428 \/ Brother Hugo and the Bear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Katy Beebe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643586441372,"sku":"9780802854070","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cf76e777-27ff-439a-96cb-8dc026709d13.jpg?v=1603856883","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/brother-hugo-and-the-bear-9780802854070","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
