"Little Bear proves himself to be as wistful and tender a little creature as exists in the child's library." —Kirkus

Here are four stories about Little Bear and his mother, who is always there when Little Bear needs her. Beginning readers will feel a great sense of accomplishment reading each story by themselves, and will enjoy Little Bear's adventures - flying to the moon, making birthday soup, and wishing for the impossible. Minarik, formerly a first-grade teacher, has captured the essence of little children perfectly in this funny, warm, and tender classic.

About the Author: Else Holmelund Minarik is the author of the five original Little Bear books illustrated by Maurice Sendak, which launched the I Can Read series and have sold more than six million copies. She lives in Nottingham, New Hampshire.
