Our experience with the Little Bear books 《小熊 》by Else Holmelund Minarik Chinese bridge books after Sagebooks, Greenfield, and other leveled readers

The plot of the story is about a two bears, a big bear and a little bear that live in a bear cave. It’s all about the little bear not being able to sleep as he is scared ‘of the dark all around them’ and the big bear trying different ways to light up his room to reassure little bear that there is no need to be afraid of the dark, which only works when he finds the perfect way to comfort his fears, outside, in front of the moon which is the biggest light of them all. However, t here is still an ample amount of illustrations which are soft on the eyes and have lovely detail that supports the text. In 2010, Minarik published one last book in the series. Titled " Little Bear and the Marco Polo", it was illustrated by Dorothy Doubleday, a change from the previous books which had all been illustrated by famed-artist Maurice Sendak. Minarik would pass away two years later, several months after Sendak.
