While exploring in the forest with Big Bear, Little Bear sets out on his own adventures. All by himself, he finds a rock to climb and a branch to bounce on. And every step of the way, Big Bear is nearby to praise him for a job well done. But when Little Bear tries to cross a stream, he finds himself in trouble. Of course, Big Bear is always there to lend a reassuring hand. Now, the award-winning team of Waddell and Firth tell another classic tale about the love and support that all Big Bears give their Little Bears.

PreS-Another collaborative effort from a winning author and illustrator team. Little Bear takes the lead on a walk through the forest knowing that Big Bear is not far behind. Each time the youngster tries a new stunt such as jumping off a big rock or bouncing off a tree limb, the older animal is there to catch him and praise him. When he hops over some stones in the stream and slips into the water, Big Bear is quick to rescue and comfort him. Large, expressive pencil-and-watercolor illustrations in pastel tones enhance this gentle and reassuring story.-Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.
