Description: Meet Little Bear, a friend to millions of children. And meet Mother Bear, who is there whenever Little Bear needs her. When it is cold and snowy outside, she finds just the right outfit for Little Bear to play in. When he goes to the moon, she has a hot lunch waiting for him on his return. And, of course, she never forgets his birthday. This classic from Else Holmelund Minark and Maurice Sendak was written in 1957 and remains as beloved today as it was then. An ALA Notable Children's Book (faux sticker illustration on front cover says so!), this Level One I Can Read is full of warm and lovingly playful stories that are perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. Else Holmelund Minarik (1920?2012) was an American author of more than 40 children's books. She was most commonly associated with her Little Bear series of children's books, which were adapted for television. Maurice Bernard Sendak (1928?2012) was an American illustrator and writer of children's books. He became widely known for his book Where the Wild Things Are, first published in 1963. Interior is tight, clean and unmarked. Hardcover has illustrated cloth boards with little handling wear but ink dotted on cover as if used as a writing desk, no DJ. BCE, most likely pre-ISBN printing. Copyright 1957. Weekly Reader Book Club edition. No print-run info found. LCCN: 57-9263. No ISBN. Original MSR = $9.95.

Description: ELSE HOLMELUND MINARIK 'Little Bear', HARPER AND ROW 1957, is a series primarily involving the interaction of 'Little Bear' (a humanlike cub) and 'Mother Bear', written by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Originally, the stories were simple, but eventually became more sophisticated in subsequent books as the plot and characters expanded. The bears live in a culture and technology which seems to be the woodland version of a Little House on the Prairie setting, but with wealthier items. Little Bear is depicted as friendly and adventurous with his animal friends.ipi/Wiki Free domestic US shipping with Insurance.
