Little Bear and his mother are about to go into hibernation, but there are just a thousand things Little Bear has to do before he can fall asleep. Maybe a story would help? Or some water? Or a trip through the snow? There's just so much to do, but Little Bear soon learns that a young bear also needs a good Winter's sleep.Jan Mogensen is a Danish illustrator and author who has mainly illustrated books for children and young people. He always wanted to be an illustrator, and when he had young children of his own, he became aware that an alternative to the social realism that characterised virtually all new children's literature at the time, even for the very young, was needed. Introducing children to that alternative was so important, he felt, that it inspired him to become a writer and illustrator.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The council of war that McClellan called on Friday, March 7, was actually being convened to decide how and where to launch the Army of the Potomac's grand campaign to end the war. McClellan was extremely popular with his soldiers, but he was extremely unpopular with major figures in the government. #2 General McClellan was summoned to the White House by President Lincoln, where he was accused of treasonous intentions. He proposed moving the Army of the Potomac's base of operations from Washington to the lower Chesapeake, and the generals voted to approve his plans. #3 The council of war debated the Urbanna plan, which was to move the army to the Rappahannock River by water, and whether any action needed to be taken against the Potomac batteries. The three senior generals, Edwin V. Sumner, Irvin McDowell, and Samuel Heintzelman, opposed the change of base, and they were joined by John G. Barnard, the army's chief engineer. #4 The war council voted to change the army's base from Bladensburg to Urbanna, and to organize the present divisions into army corps for the campaign. It was evening now, and Lincoln told the generals to return the next morning when he would make his decision.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The American airmen were briefed on the mission to attack the Focke-Wulf aircraft factory in Bremen, Germany. The factory was the leading producer of the Luftwaffe's Focke-Wulf 190, the best fighter plane in the German Air Force. #2 The air armada grew as the three other bomber groups assigned to Mission Number 52 slipped into position. The first sign of the enemy was a black-painted aircraft that was radioing the course, speed, altitude, and size of the attacking force to the Luftwaffe defense network. #3 The American bombers were flying towards the Frisian Islands off the Dutch coast when they were attacked by German single-engine fighters. The fighters flew in line-abreast formation, and their guns winking brightly as they fired their explosive cannon shells and machine gun bullets. #4 The American air offensive against Hitler's Germany was highly effective, but it also brought many problems for the bomber crews.
