# Big Bear and Little Bear Go Fishing - Hardcover

by **Amy Hest** (Author), **Erin E. Stead** (Illustrator)

**An unhurried fishing trip, with blueberry scones in tow, introduces a new bear duo sure to charm fans of Little Bear and Frog and Toad.**

_One day Big Bear says to Little Bear,_  
_I'm just in the mood for fishing._  
_Me, too, says Little Bear. Just in the mood._

With this decided, Big Bear and Little Bear are off... almost. First they need the right attire, poles in a red wagon, a basket of freshly-baked scones, and a good book to read. It's unclear how much real fishing will get done today, but one thing's for sure: there will be a cozy nap in the hammock at the end.

Adults who grew up with classic stories about friendship and caring will feel an immediate resonance in the low-stakes adventures of these two adorable bears. Amy Hest's wry text sets a pitch-perfect mood, and Caldecott Medalist Erin Stead brings fine art to each bucolic illustration. _Big Bear and Little Bear Go Fishing_ is a treat for all ages and is sure to find a treasured place on shelves for years to come.
