beths0103's review against another edition
5.0
An absolutely beautiful story with equally stunning illustrations about the only bear in an orphanage in Russia. As you continue reading this unusual little story, the way Renata Liwska illustrates Nikolai in such a human way despite the fact that he's a bear, makes you realize that Nikolai isn't really a bear at all and this is a story about a real boy looking for a real family. It is both heartbreaking, gentle, and joyous at the same time.
