One of my favorites as a child and now I'm passing it on to my son. He seems to enjoy it as much as I did.

My three year old loved this book. The simple illustrations, silly predicaments and animals reactions made him giggle. He loved the repetitive text and was excited to see how Papa Bear solved his honey problem.

When they run out of honey, Papa Bear and his son go on an adventure in search of some wild honey. They encounter all kinds of wild animals before finally finding the honey tree. Unfortunately they realize where there is honey there are also likely to be bees, and end up buying honey from the store after getting chased away from the honey tree by the angry swarm.
This story was cute, the illustrations are nice, and it is definitely a good early reader with lots of repetition and rhyming.

A fun quick read with enough rhyming to keep my baby's attention.

I sure dig rhyming books, and I like how the mom ended up being, of course, right.

I can still clearly remember reading this as a child in the seventies. A true classic.

A fun and easy rhyming read as Dad and Small Bear go in search of a honey tree only to find that sometimes you have to swallow your pride and admit defeat! Actually, it reads as a parable of how the hunter-gatherer lifestyle has been subsumed by capitalism. Hmmm. I enjoyed the beautifully textured tree illustrations.
