Babies and bears have a lot in common . . . They're both cute and cuddly, they both like to color and play peek-a-boo, and they both eat porridge and dress up for Halloween. But there is a very important thing to understand . . . babies are NOT bears!

There are many things a baby and a bear have in common, especially the baby and bear in this humorous story by author Linda Lodding. The baby and bear share many attributes that they think are unique only to them, such as how cute and cuddly they are or how they both enjoy playing peek-a-boo or even how much they enjoy reading books about each other.

There are differences, though, that the baby and bear soon learn about each other after they spend so much time learning what they have in common. While the baby enjoys soft, soothing lullaby music, the bear enjoys banjo-strumming, bass-plucking, harmonica-blowing country music! As the comparing and contrasting go on and on, the baby and bear realize the truth about the phrase "babies are not bears", which is quite alright!
