Little Bear braves a spooky wood, scoffing at owls' hoots, foxes' frights, and shadows' sneaks with a cheeky "I don't care!" amid rustling chills. But when a real growl echoes, his bravado bounces back with wide-eyed wonder, proving even tough cubs crave cozy comforts. West's wry rhymes and droll doodles deliver a giggle-gorged jaunt on nighttime nerves, a feisty fable for fearless fledglings.
