Book Overview
Through spring, summer, and autumn, through streams, swamps, and up and down trees, a mother bear and her cub play an important game of follow the leader. "You're my own little Copycub " mother bear exclaims. Little does the cub know that each time he imitates his mom, he's learning precious life lessons. When winter suddenly arrives, the bears must make their way to the cozy cave to sleep until springtime. It's a long, hard journey, and as the snow blows into Copycub's eyes and ice fringes his fur, all he wants to do is lie down and sleep. How will his mother convince him to take just a few more steps?

This is the third time we are checking this delightful book out of the library, so it's definitely time to buy it. My just turning three year old loves this book and has us read it to him every night. The pictures are great, and he has this story down to memory also, as someone else mentioned in their review. I would recommend this book to anyone with a 2-5 year old in mind..
Gentle Story with Beautiful Illustrations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is the story of a bear cub that copies his mother in everything she does. The illustrations are absolutely wonderful, and the story is heart-warming. My son (2 1/2) loves this book and asks me to read it over and over. It shows a son learning from his mother by doing what she does, and a nice mother-son bond. Being a mother of two boys, I appreciate such a loving story written and illustrated in a way that strikes a child's interest.
Copy Me, Copycub

This is a great "Mommy and son" story. My 3-year old can recite this book word for word because we've read it so often. This is a must have for the pre-schooler's library. Great art and a story most kids can relate to (mimicing a parent).
Classic art with a real-life story

Beautiful art work accompanies this delightful story of a bear cub's first year in the woods and meadows. Children will love the "copycat structure" of the story as well as the wonderful descriptions of places and events that take place while bear cub learns from her mother.
