I like this book because it was about a bear who had a mom who he did not want to leave until she needed to leave to go shopping, and then he had a little bit of a tantrum, saying, "Mommy, I want you to stay here," but there wasn't a whole tantrum about that, or maybe there was a whole tantrum.

My children absolutely adore this book. Reading literature is so important to the development of a child's mind, and I cannot think of thing I would rather do then sit down to read to them in the evenings. Imagination and growth are so vital in those so young.

Little Bear only wants to go to school if mama bear stays with him. First day is scary but also fun! (Lilyanna age 4) http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/1...

Sadly the illustrations are bad enough to actually be a bit disturbing, and having the mother bear stay for most of the first day of kindergarten is not going to be helpful for the audience.

This was a good starting kindergarten story. Mother bear sticking around so long on the first day seemed a little overprotective.
