What is in it

Grizzlies, black bears and polar bears, drawn heavy — the body is usually one large shape with the pattern concentrated at the shoulders and face. Six pages are standing bears, which are the tallest compositions in the series.

How it colours

The alternation between big and small areas makes this an unusually good book to pick up and put down. You can finish a section in ten minutes without leaving something half-done.
