Another sweet addition to the Little Bear series. In this one Little Bear's mom sends him on an errand which he completes with help from Owl. Soon Little Bear's dad returns home from fishing, and Little Bear's friends think that Dad has a mermaid with him. Little Bear hiccups and his friends try to get him to stop but their noise disturbs Dad.

Minarik uses simple words again and again to familiarize young and new readers. Her books are filled with respect shown by Little Bear to his mother and father, and between Little Bear and his friends. Kindness and sympathy are highlighted as well when Little Bear's friends attempt to stop his hiccups.

And love is also displayed between the Bear family, and Little Bears friends.

Little Bear is a very good role model for both young and older readers!
