To me, through my adult eyes, this children's book seemed a little strange and illogical. Little Bear doesn't have a name, due to the fact that he has 16 siblings and there just weren't enough names for all of them. This is very upsetting to Little Bear, so he goes on a hunt for a new name, boo-hooing at regular intervals when characters discover his unfortunate impediment. Actually there's quite a lot of boo-hooing throughout the story, characters seem to cry at the most unexpected things. Both the book and it's chapters are quite short, and it would make a nice bedtime story for very young listeners. There's nothing scary in it, both the text and the story would be accessible to modern ears, and there's humour sprinkled throughout. The narrator reads fairly slowly and evenly, which in my mind is all the better for a bedtime tale.
