The young child's dueling desires for adventure and security provide the impetus for this nature story about three bear cubs who get distracted while fishing with their mother. The preoccupied cubs run off, but the mother bear is always watching from a reassuringly close distance. The curious trio offers a subtle concept lesson and an introduction to the various animals found. The illustrations are rendered in soft, earthy tones.
