Little Bear Boxed Set: Little Bear, Father Bear Comes Home, and Little Bear's Visit

Great stories for my 2 year old, who also enjoys the show. This will grow with him for years to come. Love this boxed set!

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!

This book is perfect to read to a four year old. It explains things in a way that he understands. It keeps his interest. The little bear is exciting to read about. I’m excited for my four year old grandson child to learn to read from this book and can read it to me someday.

Obsessed. All the little bear stories from the show. My toddler loves reading these before bed.

Perfect for 3yr old granddaughter. She loves little bear. Good for bedtime story. Short read.

I love hearing my child read these books aloud to me. As a "Beginning Reading 1" set of "I Can Read" books, these books have words that are simple, yet they tell a sophisticated and engaging story. (According to the back of the front cover, Little Bear is the very first "I Can Read" book.) The chapters are 10-15 (well-spaced) pages long, and there are some pages that have only words and no illustration. Sometimes this is a bit daunting for my 5-year old, but he is a trooper and reads on through to the end of the chapter. He usually has questions or comments at the end, too. As an adult, I love the interaction between Little Bear and his parents, and I actually find each chapter, which is really a self-contained story, entertaining. The illustrations are classic, and while they are old-fashioned, this has never been a problem for my child. We've gotten to talk about old-style cars (That's like the one in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"!) and pedal sewing machines as a result. My son has many modern and contemporary-looking books to choose from, too, yet he happily reads the classic Little Bear stories.

Just speechless with how impressed I am with this purchase, three books with multiple stories inside those three books. I have Loved Little Beat since I was a kid and now my own kids love him and his Interesting Stories. I’m so great full to have found such a Nostalgic find for such an incredible price. Buy this for any Little Bear lover, and you will not be disappointed!

This series is so sweet and is a must-read for children. Little Bear will find his way into your heart.

This is a lovely book for children. My kids and I loved reading through. The illustrations of Sendak are as beautiful as ever.

**A Beautiful Classic** I’m so happy with my purchase of *Little Bear*. It’s such a sweet, timeless children’s book with lovely, gentle stories that are perfect for little ones. The illustrations are charming, and the simple storytelling makes it an enjoyable book to read together. It has that wonderful nostalgic feel of a classic children’s book that can be enjoyed again and again. A beautiful addition to our children’s bookshelf and one I’m sure we’ll treasure for years to come. Highly recommended!

Os livros têm a mesma sensação de ritmo e calma dos desenhos, meus filhos amaram.

A childhood favourite, love little bear, so honest and sweet, a must have for any family

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.
