(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Jeska Verstegen. Bailey the bear is eager to grow up--until he discovers how difficult tracking down berries, honey, and fish can be. Children will respond to the mother-child affection and recognize Bailey's struggles as he learns to find food for himself instead of relying on his mother. Unfortunately, the tale is told with saccharine prose and equally precious illustrations, which occasionally fail to match the story line.
