As morning breaks over a snowy landscape, a little cub eagerly starts the day And in a snow-covered cabin, a small hunter bounces on the great hunter's bed as he too gets ready for a big adventure But the moment this delightful parallel story progresses, the reader sees that the "hunters" are armed with cameras only, as they look for an opportunity to take a picture from a safe distance

But little bears and little hunters have a way of wandering off And even though their mothers take care to protect the young, it isn't long before bear and boy find themselves face to face Then, CLICK, the little hunter gets his shot before the two go their separate ways to find their mothers again

A rhythmic fantasy for all young adventurers ready to explore, Click! captures just the right balance of gentle humor and comforting warmth
