From Publishers Weekly
From Little Bear's 1957 debut as the launch title in the I Can Read series to the direct-to-video release of The Little Bear Movie, the ursine hero, originally created by Else Holmelund Minarik and depicted in ink-and-watercolor wash by Maurice Sendak, takes center stage in five picture books by Minarik, based on the Nick Jr animated television series produced by Nelvana (which holds the copyright on the text). Artists chosen by Sendak illustrate the books. In Little Bear's New Friend, illus. by Heather Green, the fellow befriends a wild cub while camping on Pudding Hill. Father's Flying Flapjacks and To Grandmother's House, both illus. by David Wenzel, appear in board book editions, while A Present for Mother Bear and The Search for Spring, both illus. by Chris Hahner, are novelty titles.

From School Library Journal
reSchool-Grade 2-What made the original "Little Bear" books so successful? The spare understatement of Minarik's controlled, easy-reader vocabulary allowed Sendak's detailed, textured, quirky scenes to tell more of the story. The combination was subtle, yet full of warmth, personality, and humor. The current title is a spin-off of the original stories by Minarik, produced by Sendak for television's Nick Jr. Green's watercolors follow the clich‚-ridden story line closely, mimicking the look of her animated televised counterpart, with uncomplicated, outlined figures and backgrounds. Drab greens, grays, and browns illustrate the woodland scenes. The story follows Little Bear's encounter with an initially competitive, but then immediately friendly, wild cub that has been separated from his parents in a storm. At Little Bear's suggestion, forest friends paint signs, one of which eventually reunites the family. "But all good things must come to an end. Cub's parents had to move on-and with them would go Cub." However, "They knew in their hearts that they would meet again-as all good friends must." Purchase where demand for commercial series merits inclusion-or treat your patrons to fresh copies of the older titles.
