Bookroo's summary

Little Bear ventures into the forest, eager to explore on his own. He climbs rocks and bounces on branches, with Big Bear always nearby, offering encouragement. But when Little Bear attempts to cross a stream, he faces unexpected danger. Will Big Bear's support be enough to guide him safely? Discover a heartwarming tale of adventure, love, and the bond between a little bear and his protective companion.

From the publisher

While exploring in the forest with Big Bear, Little Bear sets out on his own adventures. All by himself, he finds a rock to climb and a branch to bounce on. And every step of the way, Big Bear is nearby to praise him for a job well done. But when Little Bear tries to cross a stream, he finds himself in trouble. Of course, Big Bear is always there to lend a reassuring hand. Now, the award-winning team of Waddell and Firth tell another classic tale about the love and support that all Big Bears give their Little Bears.
