Summary
The Bear went over the mountain, / To see what he could see. / But all that he could see, / Was the other side of the mountain, / Then he got stuck up a tree! Luckily Hare is there to rescue him, followed by Fox with some tea, Wolf with the dance moves, and Owl with the final piece of the party. But wait, there's one last attendee--a young child!

Cabrera gently reveals that other side of the mountain was just up the stairs the whole time. The final spread shows the youngster all snuggled up in bed with his stuffed animal bear, hare, fox, wolf, and owl.

Jane Cabrera's Story Time celebrates children's best-loved read along nursery rhymes and songs. These interactive favorites are given a new twist by award-winning artist Jane Cabrera and feature her bold, bright, kid-friendly illustrations. Other titles in the series include The Wheels on the Bus , Old Mother Hubbard , and Old MacDonald Had a Farm .
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "Like the familiar nursery song, this picture book informs us, repeatedly, that "the bear went over the mountain / to see what he could see." Acrylic paintings portray the bear as a curious little cub who then "got stuck up a tree." Adding new verses, Cabrera imagines a succession of amiable animals (Hare, Fox, Wolf, and Owl) ascending the mountain, helping Bear, and joining the others in a jamboree on "the other side of the mountain." Next, a child climbs the mountain (the stairs in his home) and gets into bed with his stuffed animals: Bear, Hare, Fox, Wolf, and Owl. While this is not the first picture book to end with a child tucked into bed along with stuffies or other toys that had been depicted as real earlier in the illustrations, it's among the most satisfying. What's more, the vibrant, colorful artwork turns the song into a bedtime book that's sure to inspire encores. Can sleep be far behind? A cheerful singalong book to share with a preschool class or a single child."
