Review
Cream.
Sweet and charmingly, warm illustrations tell the lyrical story of Mama Bear nurturing her children from birth through the seasons. As the baby bears grow and learns about each season so does a child as his/her loving parents read to him/her. Earthy and crayon with clear, readable print will be a "reach for" story book on a regular basis.
A cozy dreamer in her lair cuddles newborn babies near
and as they travel through their daily bear lives
Summer Bear treats her cubs to juicy berries, tasty grubs.
Til finally
First snow falls. Bears stay warm, nestled close in Earth's safe arms.
A must purchase for a library.
Overall Book Score: excellent
