Illustrated by
Giuliano Ferri.
In alternating statements about Mama Bear and Little Bear, this touching story compares and contrasts the perspectives of parents and their children: "Mama Bear treads familiar paths. Little Bear likes to find new paths." Illustrations with nicely varied compositions, rounded shapes (including the figures of the two bears), and a soft palette lend extra humor and depth to the text.
