Eh. Looked promising but I didn't love it.

cute story of a father who is there for his son and helps him when he needs it.

A little bear keeps getting hurt and his father comforts him every time. I enjoyed the twist in the ending. I have several favorite mother books for Mother's Day story times, but I've always felt that my Father's Day programs were weaker, so I am hoping to use this next year. 9/21/13

This was the second book chosen and didn't work that well upstairs where there are a lot of distractions, though the 2 fathers seemed to enjoy it and one girl was taken with it.

"Little Hansie Bear, who loved to pretend, thought it would be fun to walk like a duck.


Unfoturantely he fell over sideways into a deep-down ditch."

WTF?!

Nope. No thanks.

4.5 stars - Great!

I really enjoyed this great story. The illustrations were quite excellent, too. :) Combined, they form a very charming book. My nieces (17 months old) are here for a visit and this was read to them before it had to go back to the library: It's a winner! I have added it to my to-gift shelf so that eventually they'll have a copy of this charming story for their very own. :)

I loved how little Hansie Bear was so adventurous in his games, but his parents were never far from him so when he had little accidents and boo-boos his father was always there to comfort him with a "There, there..." Then later when his dad was hurt, little Hansie remembered and comforted his papa with a "There, there..." of his own. :)
