This is such a sweet story. My brother forever tells me how his son is growing so quickly but i’ll Bet his son will be like the bear. It’s the perfect tale that will have a little one giggling at bedtime.

This is a wonderful book for all pre-school children, to read to them, and then for those early reading days.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, I was attracted to the cover where Little Bear stands on a stool to gain a few inches. Our first grandchild has always seemed to be tiny and until he was weaned, struggled to get above that first centile. I can image his own frustration if at times getting older, as he compares himself with his peers against his own lack of stature.
I loved the determination Little Bear shows seeking advice from the extended family; however, despite doing what they say he is frustratrated each time. His parents then share a special message with their baby bear.
Full of things to do beyond the story and talk about with your youngsters; funny too, like using the loo.
I'm sure this translated work will be warmly accepted into the reading cirles of young families and libraries.

Lovely little book all about growing. Great to aid some discussions on whether Little Bear's friends and family are giving good advice and a nice way to link to discussions about what we are wanting to be when we do grow up.
