Touch the Sky, My Little Bear

(4) PS Illustrated by Jane Chapman. Little Bear wonders what it's like to be grown up, so Mama Bear has him climb on her back and shows him how he'll stand up tall, run fast, and swim deep--all with her by his side. The ending is flat and sentimental, and every illustration consists of the two bears in various poses against a snowy Arctic landscape; despite this compositional monotony, the mother-child relationship is well depicted.
