Jonathan's Clay Bears Jonathan Jay Brandstater

Jonathan's Clay Bears is a humor book consisting of a series of fifty-one photographs accompanied by captions. Each photograph shows a bear character made from plasticine (non-hardening oil-based clay) engaged in some activity, such as making cakes, sailing a boat or flying a kite. Captions are based on word play such as puns and alliteration. Children, especially boys between the ages of seven and eleven, may find the characters appealing and the word play humor amusing.
