Little Bear

Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik (Author), Maurice Sendak (Illustrator)

There are four short stories in this little bear book. They have a simple innocent feel. In one, little bear asks for many articles of clothing to keep himself warm. At the end he asks for a fur coat - what he already has. In another, he makes birthday soup. In the third, he "travels to space" and finds space a lot like home. And then in the final, he remembers that fun he had. The illustrations are also great.
