Good Job Little Bear - Little Bear Author:Martin Waddell While exploring in the forest with Big Bear, Little Bear sets out on his own adventures. All by himself, he finds a rock to climb and a branch to bounce on. And every step of the way, Big Bear is nearby to praise him for a job well done. But when Little Bear tries to cross a stream, he finds himself in trouble. Of course, Big Bear is always ther... more »e to lend a reassuring hand.
Now, the award-winning team of Waddell and Firth tell another classic tale about the love and support that all Big Bears give their Little Bears.
Little Bear does a good job of climbing rocks, bouncing on a tree branch, and crossing a stream, but Big Bear is always there to lend a helping hand when needed.
Big Bear follows an intensely self-reliant and independent Little Bear as he explores the forest. Big Bear is always nearby to share Little Bear's toddler-like exuberance-"Good job, Little Bear"-and to catch him as Little Bear jumps from a high rock, bounces down from a tall tree, or accidentally slips off a mossy stone into the stream. Big Bear's affection for Little Bear is apparent in every word and in every drawing, even as he looks a bit apprehensive when Little Bear attempts an especially daring physical maneuver. Firth's warm pencil and watercolor illustrations perfectly capture the bears' playful and loving relationship. The pictures never overwhelm the brief, spare story, which toddlers, who are doing their own explorations of the world, will embrace. Fans of the earlier books-Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?, Let's Go Home, Little Bear, and You and Me, Little Bear-will rejoice to see another installment in this paean to familial love and security. -- Horn Book Magazine« less
