Little Bear Meet Little Bear
From the popular books by Else Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak, this animated collection of children's stories includes "What Will Little Bear Wear?" in which Little Bear goes to his mother again and again for warm clothing, until she suspects it's not because of the cold. Also on this video are "Hide and Seek," in which Bear and friends get tired of hiding from seeker Duck and end up having to find him; "Little Bear Goes to the Moon," in which Bear puts on his new space helmet and pretends to go to the lunar surface; and "Gone Fishing," featuring Bear going fishing at a pond until his imagination has turned that pond into something much larger and scarier. This is quality stuff from the Minarik-Sendak team, and Sendak is featured in an accompanying segment called "Bringing Little Bear to Life."--Tom Keogh
