The Biggest Bear
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 350L · 1980
A Caldecott winner that actually earns it—Lynd Ward's woodcut illustrations are stunning, and the escalating chaos of a pet bear is both funny and genuinely instructive about unintended consequences.
America's Ethan Allen
Picture book · ages 8–12 · 520L
Ward's woodcuts are stunning and the frontier adventure is genuine, but the narrative glosses over Ethan Allen's contradictions (land disputes, militia violence) and reads more as patriotic myth than nuanced history.
