Little Bear makes a drawing for his grandmother and asks Hen to give it to her. When the drawing is delivered, Grandmother asks Hen to give Little Bear a kiss. After a series of events, Little Bear finally gets his kiss...but two little skunks decide to get married!
A cute beginning-to-read book. Much shorter than the other four books in the Little Bear series.

I read these books with my mom when I was small and they're just as wonderful now as they were 25 years ago. Little Bear is just unbearably sweet and I can now truly appreciate Mother Bear as well who demonstrates patience and ironic detachment when it comes to the antics of her Little Bear. The illustrations by Maurice Sendak are beautiful and truly make the stories come to life. I've read a whole bunch of these stories to my son, and he enjoys them, but not as much as I do I think. There's a nostalgia in them that beckons me. My son seems to like them well enough, but it could be that they'll be better for slightly older children. Maybe 5-6.

My almost-18-month old sat still through this whole book. It's such a sweet story and the illustrations are amazing. They are a little hard to see since they are in black and white, but that's my only complaint. I love the ending! My grandmother used to read it to me and gave me her copy in perfect condition to pass on to my son.

It's amazing how the images here convey just as much as, if not more than, the words. The characters are all wonderfully expressive, and Sendak's contribution transforms a simple book for helping young children learn to read into a humorous and sweet story that the adult readers can enjoy just as much as their audience.

Little Bear was a staple of my household for over a decade. Sadly now, my children are no longer interested in these books, but just looking at the cover reminds me of these great characters and stories.
