Stella Dreis, illustrated by Stella Dreis
Little Bear gathers a small collection of things that others do not value. His finds include a shiny button, a feather that tickles, a soft bit of lint, and a tree he can scratch. He also claims a snug place to hide. When Little Bird arrives, the bird recognizes the importance these modest objects hold for Little Bear. Muted pastel pictures use small touches of color.
