It all starts when a young bear begins to make claw marks on the floor during his usual "how to be a bear" lessons. Soon he's collecting paper and drawing rocks, trees, clouds, birds, and even dinosaurs, as he dreams of becoming an artist. With characteristic whimsy and lively watercolours, David McPhail portrays the unusual life of an artist who just happens to have been born a bear, and tells how you can be an artist, too.
