It's time for Bailey, the little bear cub, to learn to fend for himself. Mother Bear tries to show him how. But Bailey isn't interested. He wants to sniff the flowers, the buzzing bees frighten him, and he doesn't like to cold water in the stream. He'd rather let Mother Bear go on finding food for him. But all little bear cubs must grow up sometime, and one night, Bailey does just that when he accidentally catches his very first fish!
Youngsters and their own proud parents will delight in Bailey and his loving mother's shared pride and joy over his budding independence.
