Bear and Mouse wander, visiting with forest friends until a sudden storm sends them all scurrying to Bear's cave. Throughout the narrative, pairs of simple opposites accumulate like a nursery song and encourage reading aloud. The content is slight, but bouncy rhymes and acrylic illustrations add warmth and good cheer as the familiar characters (Bear Counts; Bear Sees Colors; etc.) introduce this basic lesson.
