Little Bear

By Else Holmelund Minarik

Four little bedtime-soft stories about a small bear and the mother who plays along with every one of his ideas.

Little Bear wants a coat for the cold, a birthday soup, a trip to the moon, and a wish. Mother Bear meets each idea with warmth and a little wink, and every story ends back home where it's safe.

This is one you can start reading aloud and slowly hand over. The sentences are short and repeat in a gentle rhythm, and because it's four separate little stories, your child can read one line with you and the next line on their own without losing the thread.
