A classic comes out of hibernation and an illustrated bear comes to life in Martha Alexander's We're in Big Trouble, Blackboard Bear (1980). In this addition to the newly reillustrated, reissued series, the boy must teach his chalk-drawn bear a lesson when it confesses to sneaking out at night to steal blueberries, a jar of honey and goldfish from the local children.
