Little Bear
The inaugural I Can Read! book, Little Bear has sold more than one million copies, remains in print today, and inspired a long-lived television show. This classic from Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak was published in 1957 and remains as beloved today as it was then.
