Customer Reviews

This is a classic!

My parents bought this book in the early 50s on our trip to Yellowstone Park, and my mom read it to us several times, as we kept asking for it. Later, I had the same worn and cherished copy and read it to my own kids, who also loved it. Now I'm buying copies for them for Christmas, so they can read it to my grandkids. It's not only a highly entertaining animal story, but it teaches children a lot about the natural world, as well. When Cubby and his mother visit Yellowstone Park in the summer, he is introduced to the whole array of animals who live in the park, and learns about their habitats and their ways. Fun, and a great learning tool.

Great Kids Book

My grandmother read this to my father when he was a little boy and he read it to me when I was very young. Now I am going to read it to my children. It is a great tale of a young bear cub experianceing the world for the first time and learing about different animals that inhabit Yellowstone National Park. A must read for any young child.
