«Papa Ours rentre à la maison» is the children's picture book by Else Holmelund Minarik, illustrated by Maurice Sendak, in paperback (62 pages, in French).
Father Bear is fishing in the ocean, far from home. Little Bear keeps himself busy fishing in the river, where he meets Owl and pretends to catch a little whale and an octopus. Then he imagines his father might come back with a mermaid from his trip, so he gathers his friends Hen, Cat and Duck to see her.
It is the second volume in the Little Bear series and was originally published in 1959 as Father Bear Comes Home. The French edition is translated by Agnès Desarthe.
Suitable for children aged 3 and up and for early readers who enjoy animal stories with classic-style illustrations.
Maurice Bernard Sendak was an American author and illustrator of children's books. Born to Polish-Jewish parents, his childhood was impacted by the death of many of his family members during the Holocaust. Sendak illustrated his own books as well as those by other authors, such as the Little Bear series by Else Holmelund Minarik. He achieved acclaim with Where the Wild Things Are (1963), the first of a trilogy followed by In the Night Kitchen (1970) and Outside Over There (1981). He also designed sets for operas, notably Mozart's The Magic Flute.
