An unhurried fishing trip, with blueberry scones in tow, introduces a new bear duo sure to charm fans of Little Bear and Frog and Toad.
With this decided, Big Bear and Little Bear are off… almost. First they need the right attire, poles in a red wagon, a basket of freshly-baked scones, and a good book to read. It’s unclear how much real fishing will get done today, but one thing’s for sure: there will be a cozy nap in the hammock at the end.
Adults who grew up with classic stories about friendship and caring will feel an immediate resonance in the low-stakes adventures of these two adorable bears. Amy Hest’s wry text sets a pitch-perfect mood, and Caldecott Medalist Erin Stead brings fine art to each bucolic illustration. Big Bear and Little Bear Go Fishing is a treat for all ages and is sure to find a treasured place on shelves for years to come.

What reviewers said
"So rhythmic. So lulling. . . What permeates . . . is the deep love of true companionship; the sensitive navigation of disappointment, loss and fear; and the brilliant rhythms of a picture book giant at the top of her game."
"A master class in parenting."
"One of the finest books I've seen in years."
"This externally quiet story, in which emotions ebb and flow along with a series of small events, should make a big impression."
"This tale has all the hallmarks of a family classic."
"Throughout an expedition in which nothing goes quite according to plan, satisfaction lies in the quality of seemingly limitless time the two bears share, a perception underscored by images that convey meditative calm. Together, the creators craft a world that never moves any faster than its characters want it to."
