One brown bear saw one yellow bee. And one yellow bee saw one brown bear. One brown bear thought, "Where there's a bee there must be honey, I'll follow this bee as quietly as can be." And so the chase begins - and there's more trouble than even one yellow bee would expect.

Michael Catchpool lives in Bath. He has had several titles published by Little Tiger Press, including SLEEPY SAM and HOPPING MAD! (Publishing in October) Vanessa Cabban lives in Northumberland. She has illustrated several books by Little Tiger Press, including LITTLE BEAR'S GRANDAD and GOOSE ON THE LOOSE.
PreSchool-K-This bright, bouncy picture book doesn't quite live up to its potential, but may still be a popular addition to larger collections. A big brown bear follows a buzzing bee in hopes of finding honey. Two geese tag along in search of berries, and they are followed by three mice looking for corn. Few listeners will be surprised when the tale turns around abruptly-the catalyst is a swarm of bees-and the animals end up in a heap. In addition to the predictability of the plot, an occasional awkwardness in Catchpool's choice of words weakens the book (is honey really gummy?). However, the author uses repetitive phrases, similar sentence structures, and ever-popular animal noises to good advantage. Cabban's illustrations, somewhat reminiscent of those by Martin Waddell, contribute significantly to the book's appeal. The brown bear looks warm, fuzzy, and friendly; the white geese are awkwardly endearing; and the pink-nosed mice are downright adorable. The simple pastoral background has blue skies, abundant sunshine, and bright flowers. True to the book's cozy charm, the final collision doesn't seem to cause much harm. Young listeners might not find this simple adventure especially exciting, but those in search of cheerful stories with an old-fashioned feel will enjoy it.
