Illustrated by Yasuo Ohtomo
The sixth in the now well-known series about Little Bear to go into paperback. In this one he is extending his range of language to the formal greeting. His demure and careful 'Hello. How are you.' raises no response from flowers, dog, cat, busy milkman and postman: but when father bear comes home he finally gets the appropriate reply. Charmingly didactic for the very young, usefully repetitive for beginner readers.
