LITTLE BEAR 
2007-06-11
AN ENDEARING BOOK THAT LITTLE ONES THAT CAN'T READ WILL ENJOY AND UNDERSTAND THE SIMPLE WORDS USED. THE STORIES ARE SHORT TO HOLD THE ATTENTION OF LITTLE ONES. I LOVE THE ILLISTRATIONS. GREAT BOOK SERIES.
Sweet and classic 2007-06-07
Little Bear is just a sweet, charming little fellow. You wish you could but his personality into every kid that goes to Kindergarden with your child!
My favorite book growing up... 2007-06-01
I have fond memories of reading this book as a child. I am expecing my first in late August and cannot wait to start reading it to him or her!
From book to memories 2007-01-13
I remember reading this book as a child and loving it. Now 21 and in my 3rd year of college, I come back to the memeories of this book and the stories. Still vivid in my mind is the picture of Little Bear going outside in the cold weather only to return home asking his mother for something warm to wear and in the end relazing he had his own fur coat all along, and then him taking off to the moom.
I'm studying to become a teacher and making a book list for one of my classes and this is sure to be on there.
I learned to read with this book when I was 3!!! 2006-12-20
I am currently in my second year of college in biomedical engineering... and I almost cried when I found this book was still in print. When I as younger, my mom used to read it to me every night before I went to bed... I'd climb into her bed and she'd read it to me. By the time I was three, I had heard and seen the words so many times that I was able to read them. The stories are delightful, and bring back so many fond memories. I was looking for a birthday gift for a two year old, and now I'm going to get two, one for her, one for myself.
Oh, how time flies.
Charming, cheerful readers for little ones 2008-04-10
My kids and I came to know Little Bear through the cartoons on TV first. Perhaps part of the appeal of the books for my kids is that they know these stories well from the cartoon, but the books are much more engaging!
Best of all, unlike the cartoons, you have the amazing illustrations of Maurice Sendak. They give the books a timeless appeal.
Perfect to read to little ones, and an excellent reader for K-2.
Other titles in the Level 1 - Beginning Reading series are:
- "Father Bear Comes Home"
- "A Kiss For Little Bear"
- "Little Bear's Friend"
- "Little Bear's Visit"

Little Bear (An I Can Read Book) 2008-04-05
I purchased the Little Bear (An I Can Read Book) for a first grader that I mentor and she had asked for this book. I have given her other books and can't wait to give her this one
Playful stories about a little bear cub 2007-09-02
Little Bear, first published in 1957, is a true classic in children's literature. The book is about a bear cub who is a good friend to Owl, Cat, Hen, Duck and Emily, the little girl who visits in the summer. Elsa Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak teamed up to create these stories. The stories are filled with quiet humor, affection and imagination as Little Bear and his friends celebrate birthdays, play games, meet new friends and explore their neighborhood.
The first of five classic Little Bear books, written for beginning readers, Little Bear contains several stories. In one story, "Birthday Soup," Little Bear can't find his mother and thinks she's forgotten his birthday so he sets out to make birthday soup for his friends only to find out his mother hasn't forgotten his birthday. In "Little Bear Goes to the Moon," Little Bear decides that he'll fly to the moon and Mother Bear lets him as long as he's back by lunch.
This book and the others will delight young readers, and encourage them to keep reading.
Perfect 2007-08-09
My 6 year old has listened to this CD a million times, reading along with the book, and still hasn't gotten tired of it. We even listen to it at bedtime, as it's very soothing and doesn't have a lot of distracting sound effects to startle her as she falls asleep. We couldn't be happier with it, and I plan to purchase other copies as gifts.
