"I love you Little Bear," Mama said with a goodnight kiss.
"I love you more, Mama," said Little Bear with a wide, sleepy yawn.
"Really?" said Mama Bear. "How much do you love me?"

"Well," said Little Bear, "I love you more than raindrops falling softly from clouds so high."

"And I love you more than all the stars that twinkle in the sky."

"That's a lot of love," said Mama Bear.

pulled up the covers
and tucked Little Bear
in with a kiss.

"I do know how much you love me," whispered Mama Bear. "But, I love you more. And that's a lot of love!"

Then, Mama Bear gently wiped her tears of joy, for her heart was so full of love. She turned and said, "Good night!"
