Review: This book is a good example of fantasy because the narrative is based on a believable world created away from reality. The story includes personified animals that are believable. In this story, Jefferson Bear and Figgy Twosocks are friends who learn how to sacrifice things for each other. For example, Jefferson Bear learned that he needed to play with Figgy instead of sleep all the time. The storyline does not deceive, but tells the truth that children can understand.
Media: This book is a good example of ink and wash media because the art is outlined in ink and filled in and embellished with watercolor wash. The colors flow together and create a vivid and real depiction of the text's storyline. ( )
