Hardcover. Boston , Houghton Mifflin , 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Non-paginated. Hardcover with dust jacket. In this, the second of D.B. Johnson's picture books about a bear modeled after Henry David Thoreau, the author takes another short piece from Walden to riff on, this one about how Thoreau built his cabin. In the picture book, the bear named Henry builds a small cabin in the wilderness, using borrowed or inexpensively purchased materials. One by one, his neighbors stop by to tell him that his cabin doesn't have enough room, doesn't have enough light, doesn't have the space for dancing. Henry assures each of them that his cabin is "bigger than it looks," and he shows each of the questioning neighbors and friends where he will eat (outdoors), where he will read (outdoors) and where he will dance (outdoors). Clean, tight copy.
