A perfect accompaniment to a sweetly charming picturebook

Stella not only likes to eat raspberries, she also grows the best and sweetest raspberries in the county. It's Stella's pies and preserves that win the blue ribbon prizes at the state fair every year. But then one summer the berries in her garden start disappearing. Stella discovers that the berry thief is an enormous bear! What's to be done? Stella And The Berry Thief draws from the inspiration of author Jane Mason's own childhood picking raspberries in the summer and seeing a great many black bears. Soft pastel illustrations by Loek Koopmans are a perfect accompaniment to a sweetly charming and highly recommended picturebook story for young readers ages 4 to 8.
