LITTLE BEAR
by Else Holmelund Minarik
What Will Little Bear Wear?
It is cold. See the snow? See the snow come down?
Little Bear said, “Mother Bear, I am cold. See the
snow? I want something to put on.”
So Mother Bear made something for Little Bear.
“See, Little Bear,” she said, “I have something,
something for my little bear. Here it is. Put it on your
head.”
“Oh,” said Little Bear, “it is a hat. Hooray! Now
I am not cold.”
Little Bear went out to play.
Here is Little Bear.
“Oh,” said Mother Bear, “do you want
something?”
“I am cold,” said Little Bear, “I want something
to put on.”
So Mother Bear made something for Little Bear.
“See, Little Bear,” she said, “I have something,
something for my little bear. Put it on.”
“Oh,” said Little Bear, “it is a coat. Hooray! Now
I am not cold.”
Little Bear went out to play.

Here is Little Bear again.
“Oh,” said Mother Bear, “do you want
something?”
“I am cold,” said Little Bear. “I want something
to put on.”
So Mother Bear made something again for Little
Bear.
“See, Little Bear,” she said, “here is something,
something for my little bear. Now you cannot be
cold. Put it on.”
“Oh,” said Little Bear, “it is snow pants. Hooray!
Now I am not cold.”
Little Bear went out to play.

Here is Little Bear again.
“Oh,” said Mother Bear, “what can you want
now?”
“I am cold,” said Little Bear. “I want something
to put on.”
“My little bear,” said Mother Bear, “you have a
hat, you have a coat, you have snow pants. Do you
want a fur coat, too?”
“Yes,” said Little Bear, “I want a fur coat,
too.”
Mother Bear took the hat, the coat, and the
snow pants.
“See?” said Mother Bear. “There is the fur
coat.”
“Hooray!” said Little Bear. “Here is my fur
coat. Now I am not cold.”
And he was not cold.

A Kiss for Little Bear
Little Bear made a picture of a monster.
“This picture makes me happy,” he said.
Hen came to visit.
“Hello, Hen,” said Little Bear. “Look, this
picture is for my Grandmother. Will you take it to
her, Hen?”
“Yes, I will,” said Hen.
Grandmother loved the picture. She was very
happy.
“This kiss is for Little Bear,” she said. “Will you
take it to him, Hen?”
“Yes, I will,” said Hen.
So Grandmother Bear gave Hen a kiss.
Then Hen saw some friends. She stopped to chat.
“Hello, Frog. I have a kiss for Little Bear. It is
from his Grandmother. Will you take it to him,
Frog?”
“OK,” said Frog. “I will.”
But then Frog saw a pond. He stopped to swim.
“Hi, Cat. I have a kiss for Little Bear. It is from
his Grandmother. Will you take it to him?”
“OK,” said Cat. “I will.” He came and got the
kiss for Little Bear.
Then Cat saw a nice place to sleep.
“Little Skunk,” said Cat, “I have a kiss for Little Bear.
It is from his Grandmother. Will you take it to him?”
“OK,” said Skunk. “I will.”
6
But then he saw another little skunk. She was very
pretty.
He gave the kiss to her. And she gave it back. And
he gave it back again.
But then Hen came. “This was Little Bear’s kiss
from his Grandmother! And where is it now? Who
has his kiss?”
Little Skunk had it. He gave it back to Hen.
Hen ran to Little Bear. She gave him the kiss.
“It is from your Grandmother,” Hen said. “It is
for the picture you sent her.”
“Take one kiss back to her then,” said Little Bear.
“No,” said Hen. “Too much kissing!”
And the skunks soon got married. They had a
lovely wedding. Everyone came.

Little Bear Goes to the Moon
“I have a new space helmet. I am going to the
moon,” said Little Bear to Mother Bear.
“How?” asked Mother Bear.
“I’m going to fl y to the moon,” said Little Bear.
“Fly!” said Mother Bear. “You can’t fl y.”
“Birds fl y,” said Little Bear.
“Oh, yes,” said Mother Bear. “Birds fl y, but they
don’t fl y to the moon. And you are not a bird.”
“Maybe some birds fl y to the moon, I don’t know.
And maybe I can fl y like a bird,” said Little Bear.
“And maybe,” said Mother Bear, “you are a fat
little bear with no wings and no feathers. Maybe if you
jump up you will come down very fast.”
“Maybe,” said Little Bear. “But I’m going now.
Just look for me in the sky.”
“Be back for lunch!” said Mother Bear.
Little Bear thought: “I will jump from a high spot,
up into the sky, and fl y up, up, up. I will be fl ying too
fast to look at things, so I will shut my eyes.”
So Little Bear climbed to the top of a little hill,
and climbed to the top of a little tree, a very little tree
on the little hill, and shut his eyes and jumped.
Down, down he came, and down the hill he rolled.
Then he sat up and looked around. “My goodness!”
he said. “Here I am on the moon.”
8
“The moon looks just like the earth. Well, well,”
said Little Bear. “The trees here look just like our
trees. The birds look just like our birds. And look at
this! Here is a house that looks just like my house. I
will go in and see what kind of bears live there.”
Little Bear went into the house.
“Look at that,” he said. “Something to eat is on
the table. It looks like a good lunch for a little bear.”
Mother Bear came in and said, “But who is this?
Are you a bear from Earth?”
“Oh, yes, I am!” said Little Bear. “I climbed a little
hill, and jumped from a little tree, and fl ew here, just
like the birds.”
“Well,” said Mother Bear. “My Little Bear did
the same thing. He put on his space helmet and fl ew
to Earth. So I think you can have his lunch.”
Little Bear put his arms around Mother Bear.
He said, “Mother Bear, stop fooling. You are
my Mother Bear, and I am your Little Bear, and we
are on Earth, and you know it. Now may I eat my
lunch?”
“Yes,” said Mother Bear, “and then you will have
your nap. You are my little bear, and I know it.”

Birthday Soup
“Mother Bear, Mother Bear, where are you?”
called Little Bear.
“Oh, dear, Mother Bear is not here, and today is
my birthday. I think my friends will come, but I do
not see a birthday cake. My goodness – no birthday
cake! What can I do? The pot is by the fi re. The water
in the pot is hot. If I put something in the water, I can
make Birthday Soup. All my friends like soup. Let
me see what we have. We have carrots and potatoes,
peas and tomatoes. I can make soup with carrots,
potatoes, peas and tomatoes!”
So Little Bear began to make soup in the big
black pot.
First, Hen came in.
“Happy Birthday, Little Bear,” she said.
“Thank you, Hen,” said Little Bear.
Hen said, “My goodness! Something smells good
here. Is it in the big black pot?”
“Yes,” said Little Bear, “I am making Birthday
Soup. Will you stay and have some?”
“Oh, yes, thank you,” said Hen. And she sat down
to wait.
Next, Duck came in.
“Happy Birthday, Little Bear,” said Duck. “My
goodness! Something smells good here. Is it in the big
black pot?”
“Thank you, Duck,” said Little Bear. “Yes, I am
making Birthday Soup. Will you stay and have some
with us?”
