Reviews

[Christine Kallner · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really like the Little Bear cartoon and the one original Little Bear book I've read, so I thought a shorter board book would be nice to have as well. A simple story of friendship and sharing. Nice for fall.

I love a bear who thinks for himself. questions the norm, and finds his own way
