Sinopsis
The Biggest Bear is a children's picture book by Lynd Ward, first published in 1952. It was illustrated using opaque watercolors, and won the prestigious Caldecott Medal for illustration in 1953. Johnny Orchard is jealous because his neighbors have bear pelts hanging on their barns, so he takes a rifle and goes hunting to find a bear to trap and kill. However, he finds a small bear cub who he deems too small, and unfit to kill so he brings the bear home as a pet.
