[Mary Beth]

I love that ribbon trim down in the corner.

[Nadine]

My oldest learned to read using Little Bear stories. I had nearly forgotten. It's been six years, and now we are teaching the littlest. Thanks for the visual reminder! They are the most precious tales. He's going to come down with a big plop!!

[Viv]

This is one of our favorite story collections, especially the story in the photo. They're just so simple and sweet.

[bethgem]

This is quite possibly the greatest book every written.

[sissi]

I love this little hands dimples (is "dimple" the right word?), so cute.

[kathleen and lila]

We've been reading Little Bear this week too! Have a cozy weekend. xoxo

[KievMama]

Oh great! I just ordered books for my 27 mo yesterday and now I want this one! Argh! I concentrated on nature stories. Ah well, too much good stuff to choose from. How old is A again? It's cool to see she's into the longer stories, too. Just over the last month we've moved up to Frog & Toad and Miss Suzy...

[camerashymomma]

isnt' shutter sisters wonderful?! i am so in love with the idea and concept and women and photographs...

[Jill]

Why can't there be more books like these??

I'm with Max! Frog and Toad and Little Bear! Adorable. Books I never tire of reading!

Soule Mama, I'm glad to see other people who relish these books like we do.

[Michelle]

I just have to say that is my daughter's favorite book this week. She likes the snow because we don't get any here.

[Ula]

Ah - so cozy! And I love the chubby little hand. We love to read here too. :)

[Badger]

Aw, I am so sad that my kids have outgrown Little Bear (and Frances -- LOVED her).

[Rachel]

Thanks for the info on Shutter Sisters! What a neat idea!

And I love this sweet picture! Thanks for sharing it.

[Jessica Keith]

Oh, I love that book! I'm not sure when was the last time I read it to my guys. We'll have to get it out. I love her sweet little hand on the page.

[aisling]

Little bear is one of my very very favorites of all time.

[Megan]

I love, love, LOVE this book. I wanted to fly like that.

sigh

what a great memory, thanks

[emmy lou]

I love this project of yours... but is it selfish to say that I miss your writing?
Because I do... I always feel so inspired after my visits here!

[Irene]

Beautiful baby hands! Lovely book. Nice photo.

[Katie J]

Love that Little Bear. Into the Night Kitchen is a big fave as well. Maurice Sendak, thank you.

[janice]

Oh, I so love this book! :)

[LJ]

I love your blog. You have such a sweet family. We homeschool too. I'm not sure how I found your blog but I'm glad I did. I read it all the time. And.. we love little bear goes to the moon!

[April]

My daughter just got a collection of Little Bear stories for her birthday last month. We read Little Bear Goes to the Moon together yesterday, and I found her reading it to herself this afternoon. So sweet.

[kristin]

Little Bear! Love it! Good for indoor reading, especially in the snow. I've been wishing for some snow like you have had, but it's more rare where we live...today being the exception. Thanks for your photographic inspiration to get out there and take some photos.

[april m]

Love your pictures - miss your words :)

[EF Floresce.]

We have the same book. The kids think the mummy bear in it is a little grouchy and distracted though! Hmmmm.

[simply]

wonderful shot...it's storytime :o)

~simply~

(love shutter sisters)

[molly]

Love Little Bear and baby hands. Miss those.

[Sarah m]

This little chubby* hand is so sweet across the page.

[Mama]

Oh My!! This is the best book...one of my faves and one of my son's too!!

[christy]

Lovely image.

[Matroskin]

I had that book when I was little. I adore everything Sendak has ever made. One of my greatest favourites is Chicken Soup With Rice. It always makes me yearn for chicken soup with rice.

[Kitty Jimjams]

Oh, man, I loved that book. I still have it somewhere, I'm looking forward to digging it out in a few years to read to my own tinies.

[emily]

Oh, I love Little Bear!

Most especially because I received Little Bear's Friends when I was a little girl living in our house in the woods.

Sweet, sweet picture!
Thanks for sharing.

Emily.

[heidi]

my favorite childhood book *

[Amber]

I love the perfect little hand on the book. It portrays so much interest---the holding the book open to see the picture. Cute. You capture such quintessential parts of childhood beautifully.

[tracey]

thanks for the mention here! love your blog!

[tracey]

for fear of that last note being too cryptic, I meant the mention of Shutter Sisters. Hee hee.

[Kathy]

Oh! this brought me out of lurking! We have this book too, remarkably intact from my own childhood, and it is such a favorite around here. Your blog is also a favorite (of mine) as well- thank you!

[Sue]

Aren't the Little Bear books just the best!

[Dee]

I love, love, love Little Bear. I find the books soothing.
