Bear and his friends will charm little ones in this new format

Early one morning, a little bear found a little box.

So begins this simple but extremely satisfying picture book, winner of the Charlotte Zolotow award. Now in board book format for little hands, Thank You Bear is a wonderful mystery of a story that asks a question that even the youngest of children will enjoy guessing the answer to--what is in Bear's box?

From red fox to gray elephant, colorful animals tell Bear what they think is inside. But it's not until the very last page, that all is revealed and in the very sweetest way.
有一天早上，小熊在路上看到一个小盒子。它把小盒子捡起来，拿起来看了一看，
哇！看看我找到什么好东西！要是把这个小盒子送给小老鼠当礼物，它一定会很开心的！

小熊很开心迫不及待地要把小盒子送给小老鼠， 走者走着，路上小熊遇到了小猴子， 小猴子看了看小熊手上的盒子，说：这个东西才不好呢......猫头鹰也说：这是很平常的东西嘛。大象用长鼻子碰碰箱子，说：这个对我来说好像太小了喔。

小熊开始怀疑，这箱子是不是其实并没有自己想的那么好呢......这时候小老鼠走了过来，它问小熊：嘿，你拿的是什么东西？小熊让小老鼠看看盒子，小老鼠看了又看，闻了又闻...... 然后它说：这是我看过最棒的东西了！
