Simply beautiful and calming, it’s great as a bedtime story and I would call it a classic in my home. My kids 5 and 2 love it and ask for it every now and then. The soft watercolours are just dreamy and my son is enchanted by the friendship and freedom pictured in this book. The song/poem is something both my kids look forward to hearing again and again.

Bear heads out on a river boat ride. Filled with luscious scenery, prose, and melody.
