Abstract: en_US This pamphlet, almost 5 x 6, has six pages printed only on the recto. There is a simple bear on the title-page, which adds the phrase Printed for the Russian Church Bazaar - 1938. Each of the other six larger woodcuts is signed TM. They help in lovely fashion to tell the story of clumsy Mishka, who decides to make yokes but is impatient in bending them. Among the most successful illustrations, I believe, is the one that has the bear almost swinging from the tree, while it begins to break right where he has put his upper foot. There is a pleasing emblem of a woodchuck on the back cover. I am willing to bet that not many copies of this lovely little pamphlet were made.
