From the publisher:
As Little Cub and Grampa Bear’s fishing adventure is interrupted by mischievous otters, the young polar bear begins to question why we must love others… even the seemingly unlovable.
In answering her questions, Grampa Bear gives tender explanations that teach Little Cub about the different kinds of love that is shared between families, friends, and mamas and papas. Grampa explains that all these kinds of love come from God and that it is important to love others because…
“Any time we show love, Little Cub, we’re sharing a bit of his love.”
This sweet tale will warm the hearts of young children as they learn about all the different sorts of love, while the gentle explanations of each provide a valuable opportunity to encourage children to share with others a “God-sized love.”
This is a very cute book from Lisa Tawn Bergren and Laura Bryant – exactly what you wold expect from these two. I found the story a wonderful explanation of not only God’s love, but love in general. Little cub struggles with loving “the unlovable” and through the course of the book comes to understand the height and depth that God calls us to.
This is a great book! Thank you Multnomah publishing for the opportunity to review this book.
Thanks for the review, brother!
My pleasure – it’s a great book – as a pastor I’m always too harsh on the theology behind children’s books, but I don’t think I have read a better book for kids on God’s love.
