Product Description
This is the third book about Little Bear. All his old friends are back-Owl, Cat, Duck, and Hen-and a new friend has come for the summer-a little girl named Emily. Emily has her doll, Lucy, with her, and she promptly introduces Lucy to Little Bear. The three get along wonderfully, and when summer ends, Emily finds the perfect parting gift for her friend. Beginning readers who already know Little Bear will welcome him joyously, and youngsters who meet Little Bear and Emily here for the first time have a treat in store, for the story and the pictures are better than ever.

the genius of little bear November 9, 2008
This is one of those luminous children's books that should inform every child'd upbringing. If only it did. The illustrations are gorgeous, the message is whimsical and child-centered, the pleasure for adults is profound.
Two boys' review: Another great bedtime book for my little bears July 31, 2008
Along with "Little Bear" we have this book on my sons' bookshelf and read it often as part of our bedtime routine.
My two sons (5-year old and 4-year old) have enjoyed this book now for a couple years. They see themselves as "little bears" and enjoy adding their own imagination to the book's storylines.
This book introduces a new character, Emily, and reinforces wonderful messages of friendship and sharing that were introduced in "Little Bear."
The book is a classic and you can add it to your storybook collection with Amazon's 4-for-3 special offer. I suggest you also pick up "Little Bear" (see my review).

My son loves little bear and this is a wonderful addition to the set we purchased previously. Nicely done and keeps his interest.
Another good Primer from Ms. Minarik - a review of "Little Bear's Friend" June 13, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am amazed at the sort of complex storytelling that Ms. Minarik can accomplish with fairly simple words. [Why can't more modern authors accomplish the same?!?]
In this book, Little Bear finds two new friends, a little girl named Emily and her doll, Lucy. Together they have adventures which include going to a party, a broken arm for Lucy, and tragedy of tragedies... Emily's having to go away at the end of summer to attend school.
Five Stars. Wonderful storytelling. Good Read-aloud. I would estimate that this "I Can Read" book is on the first grade level. [Other sources list it as a second grade reader: 2.2 Level.]
Principally the difficulty lies not in the vocabulary but in the fact that there is quite a bit of dialog and more words per page than is found in Ms. Minarik's earlier stories.
charming beginning reader January 10, 2003

These stories about Little Bear and his friend Emily are a charming introduction to the world of reading for beginners. Little Bear is a sweet child to his mother and father and a good friend to Duck, Hen, Owl and Cat. Minarik's simple narrative will be easy enough for early readers, and Sendak's illustrations will hold their attention. The four stories are: Little Bear and Emily, about the friends' meeting; Duck, Baby Sitter; The Party at Owl's House, in which Lucy falls from a tree; and "Your Friend, Little Bear", about Little Bear's coping when Emily goes away for the school year.
