Introduce a new generation of children to Little Bear, the classic, beloved character from Else Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak, with this boxed gift set containing three paperback editions in the series. Little Bear : Meet Little Bear, a friend to millions of children. And meet Mother Bear, who is there whenever Little Bear needs her.

And, of course, she never forgets his birthday. Father Bear Comes Home : Welcome home, Father Bear! Little Bear’s father is finally coming home from a long fishing trip. Little Bear is very excited to see him—even if he doesn’t bring the toy Little Bear has been hoping for! Little Bear's Visit : Little Bear likes to visit Grandmother and Grandfather Bear. He likes Grandfather’s hat and Grandmother’s cooking. But most of all, he loves to listen to their stories! The popularity of Else Holmelund Minarik's I Can Read Books about Little Bear has continued across generations. These timeless classics feature beautiful, detailed illustrations from Maurice Sendak, the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of Where the Wild Things Are . With short chapters and sweet, appealing stories, the Little Bear stories work well for lap reading or in a classroom or library setting. Review: My most favorite book from my childhood. - This was one of my most loved book sets from my childhood. I've read them to my babysitting kids, then my niece & nephew.

Wonderful, magical stories
My granddaugther and I LOVE reading these stories. We are big fans of the animated series but I wanted her to have the books that the series was based on. She loves for me to read to her about her Little Bear.

LOVE little bear
Such a great set! My newly two year old LOVES the little bear show and now loves these books too. It’s a great way to introduce “chapter books” as there are definitely more words than pictures, but he sits and listen’s contently, and chooses these books over every other picture/board book he has. I know we’ll get a lot of use out of them, and I imagine they will be even better as he begins to learn how to read. Highly recommend!

Brings back memories
I had these books as a little girl and kept them to give to my grandkids but they were destroyed by water damage. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to find these and be able to read them to my granddaughter and she absolutely loves them. We’ve read them several times over already.

Der alte Little Bear ist unsterblich!
Drei der Bärenbücher mit jeweils mehreren Geschichten für diesen Preis zu erhalten, behagte mir sehr. Ich lernte diese Bücher vor vierzig Jahren kennen, und mein damals vierjähriger Sohn liebte sie. Jetzt bin ich froh, dass es den Little Bear noch immer für meinen (amerikanischen) Enkel zu lesen gibt. The "little bear" handelt, denkt und spricht genau so, wie kleine Kinder tun. Ein Beispiel: der Kleine setzt sich einen Helm auf und gibt vor, zum Mond zu fliegen. Dort trifft er eine Frau, die seiner Mutter gleicht, in Wahrheit natürlich seine Mutter ist. Die aber tut nun so, als sei sie wirklich eine Frau vom Mond, geht auf das Spiel ein, begrüßt das Kind, als sei es fremd für sie, woraufhin Little Bear verunsichert und weinerlich wird. Natürlich gibt die Mutter das Spiel auf und lässt sofort erkennen, dass der Mondfahrer ja ihr geliebter Little Bear ist. Die Zeichnungen sind sehr hübsch, geradezu realistisch im charakteristischen Ausdruck von Gefühlen, falls man von Tieren wie von Menschen sprechen kann; nur mit wenig Farbgebung, was der Phantasie Raum lässt. Im übrigen sehr bürgerliche Verhältnisse, eine noch heile Welt, deren Aktionen sich ruhig und liebevoll vollziehen, eigentlich so, wie man sich das Leben von Kindern erhofft, die, erwünscht, in Geborgenheit aufwachsen, und mit Phantasie erzogen werden. Von einer solchen Perspektive her sind die Bücher geradezu "unsterblich". Die Bände sind sehr zu empfehlen, geradezu auch für Erwachsene, die sich an das Fühlen und Denken kleiner Kindern auf unterhaltsame Weise herantasten wollen.
