While exploring in the forest with Big Bear, Little Bear sets out on his won adventures. All by himself, he finds rocks to climb and branches to bounce on, and every step of the way, Big Bear is nearby to praise him for a job well done. But when Little Bear tries to cross a stream, he finds himself in trouble. Of course, Big Bear is there to lend a hand, and gently reassure Little Bear.

Goed verhaal, leuk om voor te lezen! ( )

This is a really cute book that emphasizes the parents role as a protector. It reminded me a lot of my relationship with me son. Little bear loves to explore and test his limits, and big bear is always there to catch him. Martin Waddell explicitly states the message of the book in the last sentence when big bear says, "I'll be there when you need me... always." This book gives children reassurance that no matter what their parents will always be there for them. ( )
