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.

Reviews
-
The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily is one of the noblest books I know.
Lemony Snicket
-
Out of Italy, which gave the world Pinocchio, has come a new and fine children's story, the kind that grown-ups borrow from kids
Time
-
A beautifully presented book adorned with superb illustrations.
Parents in Touch
-
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.

Dino Buzzati's illustrations delight in the absurdity of the scenes he writes.
