Content warning reveals ending

illustrations are nice
repetitive text
parents take their kids to hunt a bear, go through lots of dangerous obstacles, arrive, and then flee home... to hide in their bed while the bear is right outside.... what?!
no concern for safety, consequences, or responsibility
