Bear is on top of the world!  He is so proud to be soaring in a hot-air balloon all by himself.  He calls down hello to his friends Fox and Hare as he flies by.  He sees his sisters climbing a tall tree.  They want him to climb with them.  He sees Goat and other friends all wanting him to do things with them.  He says no to all because Bear has a secret.  How will he get down?

Bear in the Air is a fun story about feeling independent and knowing when to ask for help. MIn's illustrations are colorful and delightful.
