5.0 out of 5 stars Little Bear is a Heart Warmer!, March 24, 2000

By	Melissa (Wayne, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews

Ever since I was a little girl I've enjoyeed the Little Bear series of books. These short stories have a timeless charm that enchant both reader and listener. The stories bring to life the thoughts and experiences of young children through the main character, Little Bear,with his friends and family. Meeting a new friend, exploring the moon, visiting grandparents, waiting for a parent to return home from a business trip and listening to stories are some of the topics for these beautifully written stories. Once again I've learned to love these books all over again with my daughter. Her name is Emily and she loves hearing her name when the stories are read to her! These are wonderful stories that are just the right length for bed time reading. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great value on wonderful stories, April 25, 2003

By	DocRWM "docrwm" (Woodstock, GA United States) - See all my reviews

These stories are engaging and very well written for little children. My son, who is 2 1/2, loves Little Bear and was very happy that we had books about him to read in addition to watching the cartoons on Noggin. The set has a variety of brief stories that are appropriate for small children's attention span and awareness levels. The only minor issue we have with these books is that they are a bit flimsy but that is a very minor issue given their wonderful content.

5.0 out of 5 stars We love Litte Bear, March 9, 2005

By	Absolut_Me - See all my reviews

Our family adores Little Bear. These are great read aloud books and it works well to say - well, we can read this much now because it is subdivided. It will grow with your child, as it is a simple chapter book.
