Father Bear and Bob Bear

This book is an allegory for teaching young children, young Bobby Bear starts to grow up and his father decides it's time to teach him how to fend for himself. He learns all about foraging for corn, honey, and fish from his wise and strong Father Bear. He also learns how to avoid danger in the form of wolves.

Like all human children, he learns that despite being out all day, he has to still help around the house when he gets home. He also learns that when his mother calls in the morning it's time to get up and that pulling the covers over his head and pretending he didn't hear, does not change her message.
