The Biggest Bear by Lynd Ward*

Johnny is always humiliated when he walks into town and sees bear skins drying on everyone's barn but his own.  One day he ventures into the woods to shoot a bear and comes back with a . . .cub!  This cub is immediately a pet and creates disturbances in the neighborhood. Once he is full grown the neighbors come to Johnny's father to say "the bear must go".   A satisfying solution for everyone in the community.
*Highly recommend.
Won the Caldecott.
