Customer Reviews

A wonderful childhood memory to pass on

I have been looking for a copy of this book for years. While visiting my brother recently I discovered that he had the copy that we read over and over again when we were children. It's in poor shape, a testimony to the use it received. He wouldn't part with it, so I am so pleased to find it available again. I'm sure my 2-year old grandson will enjoy this sweet and gentle story as much as I did.

Incredibly touching

I first discovered this book while teaching Kindergarten several years ago. The story and it's wonderful illistrations struck a chord of wonder and notalgia in me that I had not experienced in a long, long time. Thereafter, it became my favorite storytime book with the children. The book was lost one year to my distress, so you can imagine the joy I felt in finding it here, available to the publc once more. This is a book that should be read and enjoyed by all.

What can I say?

What can anyone say about this tender book. It had an enourmous influence on me as I grew up. I loved the language and the pictures. Today I have sold paintings and some of my writing. And writing poetry comes very very easy to me. This is a book that has made a difference.

I have been looking for this book for years.

My mother read this book to me when I was a little girl. I have been looking for this book for 25 years and am so glad to find it. As a 41 year old woman I am going to order it because this story brings back such safe, wonderful feelings and memories for me.

beautiful story line and wonderful pictures.

I read this book as a child in the hardbound copy. I am so happy it is still in print for other children to enjoy. The story shows the sweet patience of a loving mother and her cub who cannot wait to get outside to play.
