PreS-K—In this sweet, reassuring story, Little Bear and Big Bear must move in the aftermath of a very bad storm. The wind has knocked down all of the trees and made their current home unlivable, so the bears seek a new den. Little Bear notices his surroundings and the beauty of nature, asking questions along the way, as most little ones do. Big Bear soothes and protects the cub until they reach their destination. As they settle down in their new den after a long, adventurous day, Little Bear revels in the comfort and warmth that Big Bear provides. He tells Big Bear, "When I'm with you, wherever we are, I feel I'm at home.
VERDICT With its lovely and meaningful illustrations, this book makes a perfect lap read to be cherished by caregivers and their children. A general purchase for any primary collection.
