The Tangerine Bear Betty Paraskevas. Mother-and-son Paraskevas Junior Kroll turn from verse to prose for this poignant story about a teddy bear who wishes for someone to take him home--and discovers he's already there. Right from the title page spread, children can see something different about this little bear, plunked onto a conveyer belt with his 49 brothers. And one day the bear sees it for himself: ""My mouth is upside down. Winkle's secondhand store, where his brown fur turns tangerine. The text evokes another era, when time seemed bountiful: ""Another sun would climb the side of the sky--except when it rained, of course--and the world turned around and the years went by. In the climactic spread, the perspective shifts from the inside out; the toys become charcoal silhouettes as a stranger wearing a red striped scarf peers into a vast window, his monocle trained on the Tangerine Bear.

The Tangerine Bear 32 pp. A teddy bear can't understand why no one will buy him, until he discovers that he's defective: his mouth is upside down. He ends up in a junk store window, faded by the sun, next to other damaged items whose tales of woe inexplicably make him laugh. In the textured, highly idiosyncratic paintings, Bear's frowning, oddly lopsided mouth gives him a surly look, and also gives visual expression to the story's off-center air. Stick with Corduroy.
