FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot
It has snowed quite a bit and Father Bear is working at his desk, but Little Bear wants to play outside. After a while, they put on their snowshoes and warm clothes and head out into the woods. There they build a big snowman. Little Bear can't resist making a snowball and he also can't resist aiming it at his Father. That starts a snowball fight and a good but exhausting time for all. The anthropomorphic animals in this series are pleasant enough and the delightful watercolors are filled with plenty for young kids to enjoy. It is a sturdy board book with a positive message about family togetherness and having fun with your parents. Part of "Maurice Sendak's Little Bear" series. 2003, HarperFestival/HarperCollins,
