The Arkansaw Bear (Illustrated)

The Arkansaw Bear is the story of a bear who plays the fiddle, and a little boy who sings and dance. This unlikely pair has a number of exciting and dangerous adventures they overcome with song and dance. Some will object to Paine's portrayal of Blacks, while others will used it as a teaching opportunity. The book is enhanced greatly by 82 illustrations, including 36 lines of music.
