Moser's watercolors capture the strange, strong flavor of the tale and provide emphatic, snapshot-like portraits of its characters. This tall tale from the Ozarks serves as a fine vehicle for Kesey ( One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest Sometimes a Great Notion ), proving ample enough for his quirky vision and his freewheeling use of language-his dialogue crackles, his forceful images and metaphors tumble one after another in an inexorable rush. Little Tricker must think quickly when the double-hungry bear ``comestet kabooming through the Bottom like a freight druvstet by the Devil himself, or at least his next hottest hollerer''-and indeed he does, concocting a scheme that not only outwits the bear but forever puts an end to his rampages.
