It was a little bird
on his head!
"What are you doing with
your nose so low?"
Little Bear explained, " I
like to find treasure, like ... "
He pointed. "Like this stick."
Oh, Little Bear! You are so sweet.
A tiny bear who loves collecting personal treasures proves they don't have to be something exceptional. Eternally optimistic, he marches to his own drummer and sees beauty in the ordinary things. He likes buttons that shine, hollow trees that offer snug security, a blueberry bush that isn't laden with berries but is beautiful to look at. The all bring him happiness.
"Little Bear was a great treasure finder. That's right,
a treasure finder, because he didn't look for his treasures -
he found them. Everywhere. And he shared the news
about his treasures with everyone he met."
He showed a donkey, a squirrel, a rabbit, and a goose. It mattered little to them; they called Little Bear's finds 'junk'. Poor Little Bear. Sad and blue, he plodded along. Little Bird was impressed, and wanted to join Little Bear in his search.
The two were perfectly matched finders; imaginative, happy in each other's company, and equally intrigued by the many wonders they found as they travelled together throughout the day and into the starry night - a treasure of immense proportions.
The soft textures, quiet colors, and expressive characters offer readers a tranquil atmosphere for this lovely friendship story. How wonderful to meet someone who understands who you are, and is willing to be a partner in treasure finding.
