This delightful picture book begins as Mama Bear tells Little Brown Bear that every baby bear sleeps during the winter. Little Brown Bear won't do it. Instead, he follows the geese as they head south, where he spends his time on the beach with his new friends. But one day he realizes how much he misses his cozy bed--and how much his parents may miss him. Full-color illustrations.

Like all children, Little Brown Bear is playful, inquisitive, sometimes naughty, and always cherished by his Mama and Papa. Imaginative illustrations and simple text invite very young readers into Little Brown Bear's cozy home and loving family, while each book's smaller size fits just right in little hands. Young children just beginning to learn how to read will love this series because of its familiar subjects, thus encouraging them to want to read more on their own. The gentle world of Little Brown Bear will prove to be a wonderful reading experience for every child.
