Book Guide

Children will be entranced by Little Bear's trip to the moon, his birthday party, and his wishes and adventures. A child with first-grade reading skill will be able to read the book with a minimum of help. Even halfway through the first grade, he will be able to read the beginning chapters practically unaided.

This is a book which will be read and reread again and again. The young owner will love Little Bear. And he will love to know, and to let others know, that "This is a book I CAN READ!"
