The Green Tiger Press: La Jolla, CA, 1986. Originally published by Fukutake Pub. Co. Ltd.: Tokyo, Japan, 1986. English translation by Susan Matsui. Tejima is a woodcut artist, who has used fairy tales and themes of nature for his picture books. This is one of several books by Tejima. All have delightful print work, in color. A mama and baby bear are feeding to store food for the winter. The mama is teaching her baby, who shows curiosity and playfulness in his climbing higher for a peek over the trees and his diving into the river to catch a moonlight fish. The story is so simple, but it has a poignant feel. Lovely to think of a parent teaching a child about bears in nature, just as the mama bear is teaching her young.
