Product Description

When Copycub and his mother wake up from their long winter nap, the little bear is eager to play again. He loves to play hide and seek, but wherever he hides — in bushes, in bear caves, even in a beaver dam — his mother can always find him. Then one day, deep in the forest, he finds the perfect hiding spot. "Can't find me here," he calls. His mother doesn't reply. Copycub soon feels lost, and the growing darkness and strange noises are frightening. Can mother bear find him this time, too? Lovely watercolor illustrations capture the rich details of nature and the bears' forest home.

In Always Copycub by Richard Edwards, illus. by Susan Winter, a follow-up to Copy Me, Copycub, it's spring, and the frisky, honey-colored hero discovers the fun of hiding from his mother and calling out, "Can't find me here!" One day, however, he hides too well, and finds himself lost in the forest at night; luckily, his mother locates him once again.

From School Library Journal
Preschool-Grade 1--An appealing sequel to Copy Me, Copycub (HarperCollins, 1999). The soft-toned watercolor pictures portray the cozy relationship between the cub and his mother. Copycub loves to hide from her. Preschoolers will enjoy finding him in the delicately detailed pictures. When the little bear wanders off into the woods in an attempt to find a really good hiding place, he gets lost. In true storybook fashion, his mother finds him just as it is getting dark. He promises not to wander off on his own, but asks, "-if I get lost, will you always come to find me?" "Always," says his mother. Children will relate to this little runaway story and will find the reassuring ending satisfying.

Beautiful book
My toddler loves this book. I think the illustrations are beautiful and the story is great to help children understand the difference between playing hide and seek, and hiding away when parents are distracted. The book is a good bedtime story. It gives children the reassurance that mothers are always there for them.
