The lead character of the Little Brown Bear series is flummoxed when his Papa and Mama Bear tell him that they're expecting a little bundle of joy. Little Brown Bear asks a menagerie of other animals what that could be, and each one introduces him to their own version (a cooing owlet, a whinnying baby foal, filthy piglets), every one of which Little Brown Bear finds more disconcerting than the last. Finally a frog takes Little Brown Bear to a park and shows him that families have a way of having children that are suitably matching. When the bear gets home, a little sibling is already on the premises, waiting for her big brother. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
