【Picture Book】The Armored Bear

The mighty Armored Bear of the forest instilled fear in everyone, with no one daring to approach. It was rumored he possessed a rare treasure—a vase left by his late wife, unseen by anyone in the forest as the Armored Bear always guarded it. The mischievous Timmy Rabbit, driven by curiosity, decided to explore with his companions. They secretly snuck into the Armored Bear's home for a peek, but to Timmy Rabbit's dismay, he accidentally broke the vase... Fearing discovery by the Armored Bear, his companions gradually distanced themselves. Timmy Rabbit fled, burdened by guilt, and during his escape, he felt as if under a mysterious curse. Will Timmy Rabbit find a way to break the curse? Will his companions return to Timmy Rabbit's side? What secret does the Armored Bear's treasured vase hold? 【Book Features】  The debut feature-length picture book from "Er Gao Creative," offering both a rich narrative and exquisite aesthetics.  Meticulously detailed compositions, dynamic perspectives, and a well-paced visual rhythm make it a delight to revisit.  A five-part series set in the forest, incorporating native Taiwanese animals to construct an expansive storyline. 【About Er Gao Creative Unlimited】 Guo Yu, who loves words, and Liang Gen, who loves to paint, are like brothers born on different days in different years.
