The book begins with "the fly / that buzzes by / the tree house / that Jack built" (a multilevel structure built in a colossal tree). Children will pore over the acrylic paintings that fill every page with Jack's "marvelous things." A great storytime book with bouncy rhymes and big pages, it is also a good book to share one-on-one.

Little Bear is worried because Mama Bear has to spend some time away from him. The two bears exchange boxes full of imaginary kisses as a reminder of how much they love each other. The ending may be a bit drawn-out, but the warm sentiments and clever resolution are reassuring. Expressive illustrations show the bears going about their daily activities.
