This is a beautifully illustrated book with a soft, furry cover. It is a comforting bedtime story ideal for reading aloud. We keep extras on hand as baby gifts, and my kids (ages 4 and 9) still count it as a favorite. A little bear is worried at bedtime and his mother reassures him he has nothing to fear. She will help him whatever the situation. The illustrations are among the best I've seen.

My son is now 16, but when he was just a little guy, this was one of his most prized books. It is a story of a mother's unconditional love for her bear cub. However fearful he appears to be, Mother Bear is there to reassure him that she will always be there to love and protect him. The book is told in rhyme, which also lends to the cadence of little ears.The first time that I read it to my son, I cried. As a person in education, and as a mother, this is one of my all time favorite children's books. It is an absolute joy and should be viewed as part of a child's book collection if you are a parent. I am buying it today for my cousin, who is due with her own baby in January.

The rhythm and rhyme of this story entranced my son. It was the only book that he showed an interest in from one to four months old. He loved the contrasts of night sky and the white wind in the illustrations and was captivated by the inflection you can read this story with. The fur cover really caught his attention later and provided additional textile enjoyment. Now that he is one it is still his favorite book to pull off the shelf for me to read.
