Summary: A disappointment for Minarik fans.
Comment: I loved the first 5 Little Bear books. Minarik and Sendak were a great team. These are kid's books, suitable for beginning readers, but still quite entertaining for adults. The characters are real, the stories are engaging, with clever and subtle details, and the writing is first-rate. They are at the top of my list of really good kid's books.

Not this book, though.

There's nothing particularly terrible about this book, taken on its own. It's an ordinary, basically stupid, boring, uninspired, cutesy, insipid kid's book. You know, like a Family Circus comic, but 32 pages long. (Complete with a goody-two-shoes sappy ending.) Not vile, not evil, but just a dreadful disappointment for anybody who expected more of the real Little Bear.

I don't believe Minarik really wrote this. I can't. It must be some ghost writer using her name. Anyway, if you stumbled across this, and lit up when you saw Else Homelund Minarik's name, *don't be fooled*. Go to the library--I see there are about a dozen more in this vein. Check them out there before you lay down your dollar.

Summary: who has taken Father Bear's pie?
Comment: While Little Bear, Owl, Duck, Hen and Emily are playing hide-and-seek, someone has taken Father Bear's special pie from the windowsill. Everyone begins to look for clues in this charming Little Bear story. As usual, the ending is heartwarming and everyone is happy. Illustrations by Chris Hahner are pleasant and colorful.
