Little Bear Tries Again: Teaching Kids Perseverance

A new bike. A wobble. A crash. And the words every parent has heard before: “I can’t do it! I’ll never learn!”

Little Bear Tries Again is Book 5 in the beloved Little Bear Learns Series, a warmhearted story that helps children ages 3-7 push through frustration, embrace small steps, and discover the joy of not giving up.

Through cozy watercolor illustrations and simple, rhythmic storytelling, kids follow Little Bear from his first wobbly fall off his new bicycle to the proud, arms-in-the-air moment when he finally rides on his own — with a little help from Mama, Papa, and a star chart along the way.
