Father Bear Comes Home

Father Bear Comes Home (I Can Read Level 1) by Else Holmelund Minarik (Author), Maurice Sendak (Illustrator)

As with the other little bear books, the pictures are excellent in this one. The stories have a simple, innocent touch. The anthropomorphic bears have a few real world scenarios. In the first, bear and owl imagine they are catching a whale and octopus when fishing. In the second, bear imagines that dad may bring home a mermaid. This grows until all his friends expect to see a real mermaid. They are somewhat contented when the can hear the sea in shells. In the third, Little Bear is cured from hiccups, while in the 4th, he imagines a mermaid.
