Book Guide

Big Bear used to be a little bear who had a little boat. Now that he’s big, he’s building himself a big boat to row around Huckleberry Lake in, to fish from, and to laze in on sunny days.

His friends want to help. They make suggestions, and he follows their advice. But something is the matter. The big boat is all wrong. What can Big Bear do to fix it?

In this charming sequel to Little Bear's Little Boat, Eve Bunting and Nancy Carpenter have crafted a gentle story about staying true to one’s dream—and to one’s friends.
