Amazon.com description: Product Description: Catherine Walters' beloved bear cub Alfie, last seen sound asleep in a field of wildflowers in When Will It Be Spring?, returns here in another tale of youthful impatience and anticipation.

Alfie's mother tells him that a new cub is coming. Impatient Alfie sets out to find the baby bear, who he thinks is lost somewhere in the woods or meadows. As he wanders through his lovely wilderness home, Alfie mistakes a host of woodland creatures, including a beaver, a mountain lion, and even a bison, for his "lost" baby bear. When night begins to fall, the bold little searcher finds himself cold and alone--and lost! But Father Bear soon arrives and gently carries the new big brother bear home, where a surprise (or two) is waiting.

Children will delight in knowing just a bit more than Alfie, but they will feel just as impatient to see the new, adorable arrival. Once again, Catherine Walters has created an inviting woodland world and a story that simply and tenderly conveys a little one's point of view.
