As a precocious young bear tells of his hardworking mom, bright and appealingly detailed illustrations (see especially the labeled aerial view of Mom's bag) in watercolor and ink depict a happy Mom toting increasingly heavy cargo for her child and animal neighbors. After a crash, everyone learns to help her out. A rosy, child-level view of parental devotion (with a bonus allegory for overloaded adults).
