"This, I can honestly say, was one of my favorite middle reader books when I was growing up. I just loved Little Bear, Mother Bear and all his friends. I know that it was mostly because of Maurice Senadak and his amazing illustrations. They were simple but intricate line drawings but they were colored in which made them pop. I like the borders on each page. It was beautiful scroll work that drew your eyes to the text and illustrations. Mr. Sendak brought Little Bear to life for me! I also really liked the story. Little Bear asking his mom to make him all of those clothes and then just playing in his fur anyway was silly but entertaining. It was so cute when he thought his mom had forgot his Birthday Cake, so he made Birthday Soup. Mother Bear surprised him with a cake and he was so happy. I also liked it when he talked about flying to the moon and Mother Bear played along up until he wanted lunch. I loved that he wished for all of those crazy things and really only wanted a story. I also liked the fact that she just summed up all of the things he did in the book as the story. Still one of my favorites!"
