Review

4 little bears make a cake and wrap up a gift for big bear’s birthday. They do this with lots of love even if the cake and gift aren’t perfect. This is a very sweet story with gentle, colorful drawings. Young children will enjoy the rhymes that let them in on the birthday surprises for the big bear.

Overall Book Score: good
