Boy Bear #[3]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe cover of this third Boy Bear adventure by Gregory Rogers bursts with kinetic energy — a wide-eyed boy in a red cape tumbles forward across old Dutch cobblestones, arms outstretched as a shaggy brown dog dashes ahead of him, all set against a charming row of stepped-gable buildings straight out of seventeenth-century Holland. Rogers's watercolor linework balances genuine warmth with delightful slapstick, and the lurking figure of a bully on a bicycle at the upper left keeps the tension cheerfully alive. A wonderful 2012 entry in the series for anyone who loves wordless visual storytelling with real heart.

After annoying some soccer players, the Boy hides in London's National Gallery. The dog from The Arnolfini Portrait by Van Eyck leaps off the canvas to join him, and they leap into Vermeer's Young Woman With A Virginal to enter 17th-century Delft. They slide in and out of scenes painted by Dutch Masters and free a large pack of dogs from a butcher before the Boy returns to London. He is threatened anew by the soccer players, but the dog pack appears and chases them through Trafalgar Square.
