Wow, Jan Brett has outdone herself in this book with the artwork. The story is the story we have heard a million times over. It’s the same. The impertinent little girl breaks and enters and the bears are very patient. I like the story someone told where they ate the girl. That made me laugh, but Jan tells the story traditionally.
What is so amazing here is the artwork. OH my Word! You must check out how detailed she can be and how she draws furniture that looks like wood carving. It reminds me of being out west and seeing all the woodcarving artwork. The details are outstanding. I am simply blown away by the beauty in each page.
This might be a story in the lesson of forgiveness. Someone breaks into your home, eats your food, destroys your harmony and safety, as well as furniture and is simply asleep in your bedroom, like the world is hers. Some homes in this country, she would be shot on sight for that behavior as an intruder.
It could also be a story about the middle way. Not too big, not too small, but just right. One can see it that way from the girls perspective. Any way the story is told, this is an edition of the story worth seeing and checking out.

Great illustrations that wonderfully utilize space and give the book a classic "fairy tale" feel.
