Little Bear and his parents are familiar to almost all beginning readers. And now they will meet Grandmother and Grandfather Bear, whom they are sure to love as much as Little Bear does.

Like all children, Little Bear loved to visit his grandparents. There was always so much to do, so much to see, and so much to eat. His grandfather was never too tired to play (that is, almost never) and his grandmother told him stories about Mother Bear when she was a little cub. Also, like all grandparents, the elder bears indulged their grandson more than his parents did. And Little Bear enjoyed that!

This account of a truly perfect day will enchant beginning readers, who will be able to read it with a minimum of adult help. Once again Else Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak have created a warm and tender world.
