When Bear discovers three abandoned eggs, he takes them home. Then, with the help of his more worldly friend, Hedgehog, he teaches the newly hatched goslings to swim, hunt, and finally--by way of a brave and clever solution--to fly. Though the telling of this humorous tale, originally published in the Netherlands, is sometimes disjointed, the expressive watercolors exude Bear's well-meaning, if bumbling, verve.
