Else Holmelund Minarik's five Little Bear books, which followed their eponymous ursine hero through some of the adventures of childhood, were one of the staples of my own personal library as a girl, and I recall reading them over and over again, until my copies fell apart.

Like subsequent installments, this first title contains four stories, each of which gently highlights some reality of child life.
