excerpt: Hey, Bear! Get off the train! ![]() Lawson's enjoyable story is complemented by beautiful oil illustrations painted by Brian Deines who uses rough brush strokes and the browns and greens of nature to show off the mountains and prairies at their most majestic. His train is dark and powerful, churning its way relentlessly through the countryside. Bear on the Train was inspired by a personal encounter with a bear by Lawson's family. It is a departure and a complement to her collection of 18 books for children and young adults, notably The Dragon's Pearl and Emma and the Silk Train. Highly Recommended. Harriet Zaidman is a teacher-librarian in Winnipeg, MB.
