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，小熊在路上看到一個小盒子。它把小盒子撿起來，拿起來看了一看，
哇！看看我找到什么好東西！要是把這個小盒子送給小老鼠當禮物，它一定會很開心的！

小熊很開心迫不及待地要把小盒子送給小老鼠， 走者走著，路上小熊遇到了小猴子， 小猴子看了看小熊手上的盒子，說：這個東西才不好呢......貓頭鷹也說：這是很平常的東西嘛。大象用長鼻子碰碰箱子，說：這個對我來說好像太小了喔。

小熊開始懷疑，這箱子是不是其實并沒有自己想的那么好呢......這時候小老鼠走了過來，它問小熊：嘿，你拿的是什么東西？小熊讓小老鼠看看盒子，小老鼠看了又看，聞了又聞...... 然后它說：這是我看過最棒的東西了！
