Brief Summary: Old Bear teaches Little Cub important things, like wearing his scarf in the snow and to eat all his food. Little Bear can be a little stubborn but will ultimately does obey Old Bear, because the author states several times how much they love one another. When Old Bear becomes sick, Little Cub uses the wisdom from Old Bear to nurse him back to good health.
How to use with students: I would use this book to explain to the students how older people or individuals (that we know care about us) have more life experiences and have something to teach us. Even though it may seem like adults are trying to boss you around and make life "boring", adults really know what is best for you. Students should realize good advice and then be able to apply it to their own lives. After reading this story I would have the students recall some advice that their parents or guardians have given them that they have used. For example: Remembering to keep their shoes tied so they do not trip on their laces and fall.
