PS
What distinguishes this daddy-loves-you book is its degree of acknowledged reciprocity. Old Bear may stare hard at Little Cub until he eats his porridge, but when Old Bear catches a cold, he (grudgingly) gives in to Little Cub's orders. The bedtime-friendly text is felicitously repetitive. Fine-lined portrayals of the bear pair with lots of snow as background set the stage.
