(3) PS Illustrated by Teri Weidner. Baby Bear enjoys spending time one-on-one with different members of his family: Momma, Daddy, Brother, Aunt Grace, Uncle Roy, and Nana. Each night at bedtime he and a different relative share a specially inscribed book that touches on the day's activity. Cozy illustrations of affectionate bears accompany the pleasant, low-key story, which puts in a plug for reading together and for commemorating life's events with books.
