“This begins with a mother bear tucking her cub in for the night as she sings a lullaby about bear life. Her song (“Some bears eat fish. / Some like bamboo. / Some bears hunt by the light of the moon.”) gives basic facts about bears, but it’s Gabriel’s realistic artwork that brings these facts to life. She shows brown bears catching fish out of the river, giant pandas feasting in a bamboo forest, and a polar bear walking across the frozen landscape. In the end, mother bear’s favorite bear is, of course, her own “sleepy cub.” A page of bear facts rounds things out. A taste of natural history for very young children to ponder.”
