Now we are being treated to SKY OF STONE, which takes us with Homer "Sonny" Hickam back to Coalwood, West Virginia in the summer after his freshman year at college. Homer's taciturn father is at a crossroads in his life. His wife has left him and is living in Myrtle Beach. Sonny, looking forward to a summer of basking in the sun, meeting girls and helping his mother fix up the beach house, is packed and ready to go when he is called to the dormitory phone. His hopes for a languid summer are shattered. Knowing that there is no arguing with Elsie Hickam, Sonny reluctantly returns to the depressed mining town to a father more remote and uncommunicative than ever.
All about the Three Bears: the large Papa Bear, the medium-sized Mama Bear and the wee Baby Bear. In which we learn all about porridge and maple sugar, the Three Bears' lovely house in the forest, all of their friends (including Goldilocks and her family), and the learning of lessons and turning of tables! Magnificently illustrated, it's absolutely beautiful. Illustrated by Warner Carr.
