PS
A bear wakes a toddler with the words, "Let's go and see the world." They invite along their animal friends, assuring each in turn that there will be trees to climb, wheat to peck, etc. After walking by a pond, through the woods, and across a field, they view their world from a starlit hilltop. The large format and gatefold pages sometimes overwhelm the simple concept and soft mixed-media illustrations.
