I found this book to be similar to London's book "Little Fox in the Snow". Both teach young readers about predator and prey. I liked this book better because it told more of a story as well as teach readers. As well as teaching about predator and prey, it also tells readers about the relationship between the bear and the fox. They help each other out whether they know it at the time, and I think that is an important lesson to teach young readers that you should do nice things for people without expecting anything in return.
