Bookroo's summary

A curious young bear imagines the thrilling adventures awaiting him as a grown-up, from late-night escapades to exploring alone. Yet, he discovers that even the biggest bears return home to share their tales. Will Baby Bear's dreams of independence lead to unexpected lessons about the joys of home?

From the publisher

Baby Bear knows that big bears get to have all the fun. They get to stay up late, live in toy stores, go exploring by themselves, and eat dessert . . . all day long! Baby Bear plans to do each of those things–and more–when he grows up. But at the end of the day, even the biggest bears still get to come home to tell of their grown-up adventures. This third Baby Bear collaboration between Jane Yolen and Melissa Sweet is a wonderful tribute to imagination and perfectly captures the spirit of youngsters who wish they could make all the rules.
