Bookroo's summary

Little Bear admires his dad and mimics his every move, from yawning to fishing. But on a family fishing trip, he discovers his mom's impressive skill when he catches a big fish, just like her. Can Little Bear balance his admiration for both parents and find his own path? This classic tale of family and discovery is beautifully reimagined with its original charm.

From the publisher

Little Bear wants to be like his dad–but his mom has a fun skill to share too in this reissue of a classic picture book from celebrated and award-winning author and illustrator Frank Asch. Little Bear loves to do everything his daddy does. When Daddy yawns, dresses, eats, fishes, and uses bait, so does Bear, just like his father. But when the whole family goes fishing, Bear catches a big fish…just like Mommy! This refreshed edition of a beloved classic features the original text and art with an updated cover.
