Synopsis
Bearcub follows his mama wherever she goes. By Mama's side, he discovers how to catch a fish and dig for grubs. With Mama's help, he learns to climb a tree and find honey. One day, Bearcub is exploring the high country when the sky darkens and a storm blows in. But this time, Mama is not there. Frightened and alone, Bearcub must rely on himself -- and all that his mama has taught him -- to weather the fierce winter storm. Told in simple, evocative language and illustrated in rich, luminous colors, Bearcub and Mama is a reassuring story about growing up and the powerful bond between mother and child.

From School Library Journal
PreS–Bearcub follows his mama, learning how to catch a fish, dig for grubs, and climb a tree to find honey. At first, Bearcub always knows where his mama is but as he grows, he learns to leave her sometimes. While playing with ice along the shore of a stream, he does not notice the snowstorm that is descending on him. Although afraid, he remembers how to follow the trail to his den and comforts himself with the words of his mother, All storms pass. Having overcome his fear, Bearcub sleeps safely and awakens happily to his mother's greeting. The painterly spreads, done in acrylics on canvas, use serene colors, with mother bear and cub depicted in a warm brownish orange. Story and illustrations create a superb read-aloud that is certain to appeal to most children, who will connect with Bearcub's uneasiness about growing up. Pair this one with Kathy Mallat's Brave Bear (Walker, 1999) for two fine tales about bravery and courage.–Rebecca Sheridan, Easttown Library & Information Center, Berwyn, PA
