Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik (1992, Hardcover, Reissue)

I can remember my first trip to the library.I was in the first grade and had never seen a library before,so I didn't know what to expect.There were so many books there,that it overwhelmed me.Becoming afraid,I sat in the corner by myself,waiting for library time to be over.When I looked down at my feet,,there,on the floor,was a pretty blue book.The illistration on the cover of the Mother Bear and her Little Bear cub made me forget my fears and concentrate on the new pictures inside this book.I became calm,picking out words I knew and trying to sound out the ones I didin't.I even smiled.I never forgot my first introduction into reading and the Little Bear who made me fall in love with the world of make believe.So when my little girl turned 6 and was ready to go into the first grade,I ordered her first Little Bear book,the same one that opened up my world of pretend and laughter for me when I was 6.It was so easy to do on Ebay.They had exactly what I wanted at my fingertips.I didn't have to go out to the stores in between my busy schedule tyrying to track down the book I needed.I didn't have to pay an expensive amount either.On Ebay,it was so reasonable.I'm very satisfied and happy that I could see an old friend once again and bring him home to stay with me.
