Baby Bear Goes to the Zoo
Lorette Broekstra
Hardcover
(Brimax Books, Oct. 15, 2000)
Mother and Baby Bear go to the zoo, where Baby Bear follows a pretty butterfly and loses his mother. He keeps hearing someone calling 'Baby Bear! Baby Bear! and follows the sound, only to find that it is the mother Brown Bear calling her baby, then the mother Panda, then the mother Polar Bear, and so on. Just when he is getting very upset, not too mention very hungry for his lunch, he hears someone calling 'Baby Bear! Baby Bear! and runs to find his mother, waiting for him with open arms and a big basket full of lunch! Melbourne-based graphic artist Lorette Broekstra wrote this, her first book, for her two young children.
