LITTLE BEAR AT WORK AND AT PLAY - WHEN LITTLE BEAR BRAGGED
WHEN MOTHER SKUNK HELPED LITTLE BEAR
In this charming collection, a lively little bear explores the world around him, balancing chores with the joys of the forest. Each story is a self‑contained adventure that shows him learning, laughing, and sometimes stumbling along the way. Warm illustrations accompany the gentle narration, inviting listeners into a cozy woodland home.
Among the first tales, Little Bear boasts about racing Grandpa Tortoise, only to discover that speed isn’t everything. He also tries his paw at swimming, helps a lost otter baby, and experiences the excitement of his first school visit. These episodes weave simple lessons about humility, perseverance, and friendship.
The tone is light‑hearted and reassuring, perfect for young listeners who love animals and nature. With humor and heart, the stories encourage curiosity while reminding children that work and play can coexist. A delightful listening experience for families to share together.
