Because
she bakes bread for a special treat with honey, Baby Bear
wants to give his mother a special surprise gift. While at
school Baby Bear paints a picture of his mother. But on the
way home the little fellow shows his artwork to some of his
animal friends.
Although they like the portrait, each of Baby Bear's friends
suggests making a slight change. Owl thinks it should feature
large eyes while Ben the alligator believes a much larger
mouth is necessary. Of course each animal is suggesting a
change that mirrors one of his/her own features.
Of course, with all the alterations the picture looks nothing
little Baby Bear's mother by the time he arrives home. Although
she is a bit surprised, his mother naturally says she loves
it and then they both sit down for some bread and jam.
An excellent book for children just beginning to master reading,
the text here is not overly demanding. Also, toddlers will
love the silly story and colorful illustrations that make
this book one they will want to read aloud again and again.
