Sweet story about a momma whose babies "disappear" and are replaced by 3 snow bears...any book that ends with hot toast by the fire sounds good to me.

I felt this story made the mistake many adults make of dumbing down and talking down to children. The snow bears talk in a way which an adult is meant to read as childishly cute but I think children find bemusing. The illustrations are cute and the theme of mother playing with, caring for and loving babies is one that children are absolutely obsessed with at childcare so despite the flaws I see in it the book DOES get a workout.

It just conflicted with the model of "capable" child that I both work from and see evidence for around me. The children in the story couldn't seem to keep their story straight
