Little Bear's Friend

Very good book for kids!

In addition to being excellent reading practice for young readers, the several connected short stories (it is 62 pages and divided into four chapters each of which can be read as a story in its own right) will help to emotionally prepare children for exactly the sort of challenges they will face in real life. The pictures are also very well done with an old-world charm. In fact, after Beatrix Potter, the Little Bear series are my second favorite in terms of the art. I recommend this book for boys and girls and it's also a good stress-reliever for adults.

Appropriate reading level and story with cute illustration for 6 YO. It's so classic!

Best one for the little fellows

I like this series. This one has four short stories all linked together. It is about making a new friend and then having to say goodbye. The story is told simply but is clever nonetheless. Most of these books are out of print, which is shame as they are far better than the one dimensional drivel that is most childrens books these days. Oh and many modern children books have illustrations that look like they were actually made by a child, instead of a talented artist like Maurice Sendak!
