good for dads to read
k-1

I loved this book growing up. The father bear in the story was just like my dad. The book is about daddy bear trying to put baby bear to sleep and "can't" find him. Daddy bear is looking all over and finally finds him on his shoulders. This book would be a great read-aloud before nap time. (

A great fantasy. This family of bears would not have a house like people do, or dress in real clothes, making it hard to be anything but fantasy. The theme of the book about the hide and seek game is a stroke of genius and it is very fun to see when the father bear will choose to "see" his son atop his shoulders. This book is well illustrated and wonderfully told! (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307986241, Hardcover)

First a story, and then a kiss from Mother Bear, and Father Bear carries Little Bear to bed. And that's when the fun begins. Father Bear gets to Little Bear's room, but Little Bear is missing! Little readers will see him hiding in the MOST obvious place but Father Bear cannot seem to find him. Is he under the stove? Is he in the garden? Is he in the woodbox? Only when Father Bear walks past the mirror does the silliness end, and in a very tasty way. With this, one of the most charming bedtime tales ever, Richard Scarry has once again proven his timeless appeal.
