Description
Starving after a harsh winter, the bears descend from the mountains in search of food and invade the valley below, where they face fierce opposition from the army of the Grand Duke of Sicily. After many battles, scrapes and dangers, the bears' reign is established over the land, but their victory comes at a price.

Tongue-in-cheek humour enhanced by Buzzati's surreal illustrations will delight young readers with a taste for the bizarre
The School Librarian
-
This moving story… is one that children of nine-plus will remember enjoying long after they have finished reading. A bonus is a quirky readers' companion.

A beautifully presented book adorned with superb illustrations.
