Bear is everything a little girl needs to love – a friend ready for every adventure, every joy, every sorrow. But little girls grow up. 

Ready to cry? If you and your kids/students can make it through the Toy Story movies, then you can make it through this. Sad, yes, but also hopeful. Santat adds the just the right tone with his lovely illustrations, showing Bear as a bigger than life companion – truly thru the eyes of a child.
