This book won the Caldecott Prize in 1953 and is by Lynd Ward, an American Illustrator. I think it's a really interesting one because it's about working class, hunting family living in bear country. Johnny meats a bear cub who grows up to be the biggest bear... it's tragic when Johnny is sent to shoot the bear because it's too big to live with the family but oh joy, the bear gets caught in a Maple trap and is found by some Zoo keepers. The Bear goes to the zoo and Johnny visits it and always brings him Maple Sugar. The End!
