5.0 out of 5 stars Only the best, November 10, 1999
The Little Bear saga are truly classic. From the artwork and storylines you think you are reading a Victorian era storybook. No your grandmother didn't read these stories to you. Soon enough we will be reading them to our grandchildren. Buy the hardback versions, your grandkids will love them.

4.0 out of 5 stars We love little bear, October 14, 2008
My daughter loves little bear and she loves chapter stories, which this one provides. It's a good night time story as they are short, but interesting. It's a good lead-in to longer stories which will require finishing the next night....classic and endearing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two boys' review: One of Papa's favorites for bedtime reading, September 6, 2008

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This book is another great addition to the Little Bear series (see my other reviews). Father Bear goes on a fishing trip and his Little Bear wonders what he may catch...an octopus, a whale, maybe a mermaid.

Perfect for young readers and a great bedtime book (with four interwoven stories inside, so you can stop if your audience gets sleepy).

My sons can relate to Little Bear and his imagination. The stories are easier to follow yet entertaining enough to support multiple readings.
