Bookroo's summary

Old Bear always looks after Little Cub, ensuring he's warm and well-fed. But when Old Bear catches a cold, it's Little Cub's turn to care for him. Can Little Cub show his love and help Old Bear recover? This heartwarming tale explores the tender bond between a caring bear and his little cub, revealing how love and care can flow both ways.

From the publisher

From the creator of the Gossie and Gertie books comes a playful and charming twist on the relationship between children and the adults who care for them. Old Bear loves Little Cub with all his heart. He makes sure that Little Cub eats all his porridge, takes a nap during their snowy walk, and wraps his red scarf tightly around his ears. Little Cub doesn’t want to be told what to do, but he always listens to Old Bear because he knows that Old Bear loves him so. But when Old Bear catches a cold, it’s Little Cub who knows just what to do to make Old Bear feel better. This winning story shows just how much Old Bears and Little Cubs love one another–with all their hearts.”
