Translated by Kate Westerlund.
Illustrated by
Eve Tharlet.
In this rather rote look at coping with a new sibling, Little Bear is disappointed with his routine-busting, parent-hogging infant sister. Little Bear's parents behave with improbable insensitivity--e.g., wouldn't they tip him off that he might awake to find his grandmother staying with him while they're at the hospital?--but Tharlet's illustrations imbue the all-bear cast with heart-tugging humanness.
