A doting pair of adult bears follows a baby bear through a busy day.These fully engaged caregivers are clearly awed by the little cub, starting with "You're the morning sunshine" and ending with "you sleep so peacefully / beneath the twinkling stars." In between, the baby bear paints a picture, sings with one adult, tickles with the other, drinks cocoa, takes a walk and flies a kite, rides a bike, and is playfully swung in the air before a bath. Much of the action is communicated only by the pictures. The tender rhyming verses focus on the wonder of familial love. Every other stanza ends with the refrain: "This world of ours is full of love / when you are here with me." Curiously, although this cub has two present, caregiving adults, the narrative, presumably addressed to the child, uses the first-person singular. The baby bear is presented as gender-neutral, first in orange-and-green polka-dot pajamas and then in blue jeans with a white shirt graced with yellow ducks. Although neither adult bear is gendered in the text, the illustrations use stereotypical cues: One wears a yellow dress decorated with hearts; the other wears a striped shirt (and no trousers). No one can miss that the baby bear is the adults' little darling.Sweet—but more for adults than children. (Board book. 1-3)
