Little Bear's Little Boat

This is a well-written, beautifully illustrated, simple story of a little bear who grows up to be a big bear. While it makes a perfect "big sibling" gift, I highly recommend this book for any young child. In fact, our whole family congregates when one of us reads it to our 4-year old. An absolute winner.

This is a sweet and touching story about growing up. It was recommended by a local childrens bookstore and quickly became one of my children's favorite stories. We have given many copies as gifts and donated them to school libraries. Everyone falls in love with book - it is true quality. 'Little Bears Little Boat' is a timeless story and an essential addition to any child's library.

My 3 year old daughter fell in love with this book. The illustrations are so sweet and the story is cute. Good lesson for young children who are about to get a new sibling--when you outgrow certain things, it's time to give them to someone smaller.

I bought this for my daughter when she was 2. She loved the story then and still loves it now. It is the perfect length in my opinion for that age - not too long, not too short. It's a sweet story, and she loves the pictures. I would highly recommend it!

Little Bear loves his little boat, but to his dismay, one day finds that he's too big to fit into it. His mother explains how it's his destiny to get bigger while it's his boat's destiny to stay the same size. He finds a little bear to bequeath his little boat to, but on the condition that the little bear will find another little bear to give it to when he, himself, outgrows it. This is a very sweet story about growing up. I bought this story for my 4yr old to help him accept seeing his 2yr old brother using things that he'd outgrown. The illustrations and flow of the text are both great!
