Maurice Sendak's Little Bear

Maurice Sendak’s Little Bear is an animated children’s TV series based on the Little Bear series by Maurice Sendak, the author of Where the Wild Things Are, focusing on a small grizzly cub named Little Bear, an animal equivalent to a six-year-old boy. Little Bear lives in a stucco, timber, plaster, and brick house with his parents, Mother and Father Bear. A kind and inquisitive little bear, he often is out exploring with his other animal friends, including the laid back and lazy Cat, a mischievous monkey named Mitzi, the pompous but wise Owl, comical Duck, and Emily, a seven-year-old human girl who likes to be in charge because she’s the oldest. Maurice Sendak’s Little Bear is a thoughtful and playful series that often has these younger animals dealing with human problems through the sensible eyes of a small child. Each episode offers a little adventure, a bit of fun, and a whole lot of imagination. MORE
