So maybe this picturebook does not just help children overcome their fear of the dark but help parents be patient with their children. I also read A Kiss for Little Bear some time ago and I think I might actually prefer it to this short story collection, but I remain a loving Little Bear fan and plan to continue the series, feeling confident I will enjoy them all.
