<p>This story of Copycub and his mother tells how Copycub learns everything by copying his mother - splashing through swamps, wandering in search of food, berry-picking and finding honey. Finally, Copycub's ability to copy his mother saves the little cub's life.</p>

Copy me, Copycub

scholastic

In this reassuring tale from a British team, a mother bear affectionately nicknames her offspring "Copycub" because he learns by doing everything she does. "When his mother splashed through a swamp,/ the cub splashed through a swamp./ When his mother sat down for a scratch, the cub sat down for a scratch." The artwork, in close synchrony with the straightforward text, offers warmly rendered, simply composed watercolors that depict the bears leading an idyllic existence in the north woods. Then winter comes, and the bears must head to a distant cave to hibernate. A single snowflake quickly builds to a blizzard, and it is too much for Copycub. In a series of panels, the little bear slowly collapses in the snow: "He couldn't go one step further. All he wanted to do was lie down and go to sleep." It's a somewhat tense, even shocking moment in the previously gentle, almost lulling story: suddenly, Copycub's ability to mimic his mother becomes a matter of life and death. But Edwards and Winter don't shift gears. Rather, this dramatic turn of events reveals the strength of their understated approach. When the next pages reveal the mother bear nudging her exhausted cub successfully to their cave, the audience's relief will be palpable. Ages 3-7. (Sept.)

Copy Me, Copycub

Always Copycub

Copycub loves playing games,especially with his motherCopycub loves to play games, especially hide-and-seek with his mother. The little bear hides in bushes, in dark corners of bear caves, and even in the sticks of a beaver dam. "Can't find me here," calls Copycub. "Oh, yes, I can," exclaims the mother bear. And she finds him every time.One afternoon, while the two bears are exploring in the woods, Copycub remembers a secret place for hiding and runs very deep into the forest. When he calls for his mother to find him, there is no reply. Copycub begins to realize that hiding from his mother isn't always so much fun. It is beginning to grow dark in the forest and there are many strange noises. Copycub is lost! Mother bear has always found her little bear in the past. Will she find him this time, too?Richard Edwards' simple, gentle text is heartwarming and inspiring. All the rich details of nature and the tender interaction between mother bear and cub are made real in Susan Winter's soft watercolor illustrations.
