Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik first published in 1957 is an early reader book of short stories featuring the adventures of a little bear, named Little Bear, and his mother. The stories cover Mother Bear making clothes for Little Bear, his birthday party, trip to the moon, and finally bedtime. There was something peculiar about the dialogue in this story that made me think it had been translated from another language although that is not the case. The book is charming but easily forgettable despite the cute cub. In general, it's good early reader with lots of repetition. Source: Library Book
