The Bear Family

This is a reprint of a small set of three books originally published in the 1930s. Each of them tells the story of that bear's particular place in the family. Baby Bear came to live with Father Bear and Mother Bear when he was just one minute old. Mother Bear wanted a little Baby Bear with brown eyes and little pink heels. Father Bear had a garden, too. He planted turnips for Mother Bear, spinach and little red beets for Baby Bear, and corn and cabbage for himself. These bears are an inseparable family, sold only in sets and packaged in a plastic envelope. The text invites the reader to color a few of the illustrations that are black and white, most are in full-color already.
