This charming and highly original story reveals what happens at a vacation cottage once the summer visitors have left for the winter. With fewer than two dozen words, the story is told primarily in extravagantly detailed pictures, rendered in pen and ink and watercolor. Children and adults will revel in the activities of a family of bears that takes up residence in the empty camp-the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears in reverse.
