Oliver & Ronald-what a pair!

My sister & I received this book as a gift from our grandmother many years ago. We still have it (we share it back & forth) and it is one of our most prized possesions that we will share with our own children. This story is THE definition of charming, and I recommend this title to anyone searching for a truly wonderful children's book that your kids will never tire of. How Ronald is on a never ending quest to become the smartest bear in the world-and how his brother Oliver is on a similiar quest to become the most well-fed bear in the world-all before the Bear Family takes its long Winters' nap. The illustrations compliment the story perfectly. I only wish that it was more available to the public as it seems to be out of print a lot.
