Mama Bear and Little Bear don't always agree: Mama is afraid of too much light, Little Bear fears too much dark. Mama Bear loves honey, Little Bear loves honey cakes. Mama Bear likes to tread old paths, Little Bear likes to tread new paths. But what they love more than anything is being together. And most of all, Mama Bear loves Little Bear and Little Bear loves Mama Bear.
"Carefully blending and bleeding his watercolors, Ferri brings a soft smokiness to the proceedings (in which Mama Bear wears a string of pearls), heightening the tenderness of the bears’ relationship….Affection runs through the story like a lazy stream. There’s much to identify with in this gentle, perceptive book."—Kirkus Reviews
