About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-When Little Bear hurts her head, takes a tumble, and loses her friends, a kiss from Big Bear makes everything okay. The cub tries to return the love when her parent gets bad news in a letter. Kisses and tickles help a little, but even a grown-up can't resist the healing power of Band-Aids. The simple words and concepts make this a good selection for storytime and one-on-one sharing. The gender of the adult bear is not specified, making the book equally appealing for father-child sharing. The soft and rounded illustrations are rendered in warm, subtle watercolors. Endpapers show Little Bear expressing a variety of emotions that might stimulate discussions of feelings.

From Booklist:

Little Bear suffers a bad day filled with bumps, bruises, and hurt feelings. But Big Bear (who is portrayed as gender neutral) always has a kiss, a hug, and a bandage at the ready to soothe all pains. When Little Bear returns home one day to find that Big Bear has received very sad news, Little Bear acts from Big Bear's example: he kisses Big Bear until some of his parent's hurt is soothed away. Joos uses watercolor and ink to depict appealing animal characters in human settings and situations and portray a mutually supportive, loving relationship between a parent and child. Ellen Mandel
