Big Bear and Little Bear go fishing by: Amy Hest

Big Bear and Little Bear Go Fishing by Amy Hest, illustrated by Erin E. Stead, is a gentle, cozy picture book about two bears who decide to go fishing — with all the right preparation. There’s the fishing gear, a red wagon, blueberry scones, and even a favorite book tucked in before they set off. The day doesn’t go quite as planned — they don’t catch many fish — but what matters most is the shared time together. The soft watercolor illustrations and simple, warm storytelling make this perfect for young readers and storytime snuggles.
