Title: Feeling Frisky
Review: That's when the trouble started for the denizens of Forevergreen Forest.It had been "...a quiet peaceful place until Bruce, a great shaggy brute of a bear came wandering out of a canyon one day". When Bruce started feeling frisky, he commenced a campaign of terror, rolling rocks down the hill, shattering logs, flattening brush and leaving no place for the rabbits and quail to hide.As always, Peet's pictures are delightfully evocative as the badass bear wreaks havoc indiscriminately. Bunnies and birdies scatter from the path of his boulderish bowling balls.The message of this tale is in the end how hubris will not prevail. Eventually Bruce blunders, and finds himself at the receiving end of same kind of torment that he had previously dished out.But ultimately there's a happy and redemptive ending. Readers, both children and their parents alike, come a way with a new sense of perspective even as they`re having a lot of fun.Not Peet's best, but very good just the same.
