In this purposeful but amiable story, Mother Bear and her child discuss what it means to make and keep a promise. She vows to take care of Baby Bear and love him "no matter what." For his part, Baby Bear promises to be good, "most of the time." The pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations provide attractive woodland backdrops for the winsome bears' conversation.
