Ursa Major

Ulysses breaks the computer in the ranger station and wants to replace it. But Ulysses is a bear. He needs to find a way to make some money, but big paws are not made for delicate work. Read the story of a curious bear looking to make a buck. Each pair of pages features the story of Ulysses' odyssey, a relevant factoid footnote by C Jared Castor, and a full-sized image to be colorized with pencils. The moral (to take responsibility for your actions) and the plot (job hunting) are worth sharing with readers of any age. This book is 34 pages long and designed for a wide range of skill levels. Emphasis on vocabulary building and the integration of fact and fiction render Ursa Major an enticing educational tool.
