ReviewsSchool Library Journal (STARRED review) "Combines suspense, humor, and information in a handsome, entertaining package." Kirkus Reviews (STARRED review) "Prepare to be charmed by a bear who loves words -- or at least loves to eat them. . . . The rhythm of the text is antique but lucid and sweet, and the pictures, festooned with curlicues and decorated in shades of gold, gray and brown, echo the manuscript illuminations that inspired them. Rich backmatter gives all the historical background without detracting from the essential spark of the tale. . . . This accurate (if abbreviated) delineation of the process of medieval manuscript bookmaking shines thanks to the fey twist of ursine longing for the written word." New York Times "Interesting, wry and educational." Congregational Libraries Today "Detailed illustrations in blues, golds and browns, with manuscript lettering, make for an attractive book and provide pleasure and meaning for children. . . . Brother Hugo gives renewed appreciation for words, writing and reading." , School Library Journal (STARRED review) "Combines suspense, humor, and information in a handsome, entertaining package."

Positive, lighthearted story
Enjoyable story about a brother in a religious order who loses his library book because of a bear. The story seems to be set in the Middle Ages so there is a historical aspect to the story, as well as, a religious (Christian) perspective. The story is not preachy; I thought it has a humorous ending. Friendship is an important element to the story. My daughter and I enjoyed it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
