This is a pretty darn cute book. There is a baby bear who is bored. The baby bear wakes up the sleepy bear and they use their imagination to find something to do. They go for a walk and find a stick and start drawing in the dirt. They create (by drawing in the dirt) a ladder to go to the moon and then draw stars until they get tired and hungry and go home.
The drawings are simple and look like they were drawn with a crayon. The colors are simple: gray and black with a splash of color (like the cover). The font of the text is large and easy to read; there is plenty of negative space left on the page.
Drawing things into creation is an interesting thought that I always enjoy when explored thematically in picture books. Writing a story is creation and is done with pen and paper. So why not create a ladder and climb to the moon? I love that this concept is being introduced to young minds.
This is a simple story that brings up lots of topics you can discuss with your child.
