This version of The Bear Went Over The Mountain, illustrated by Sylvia Ion, is unique in that the whimsical illustrations alone tell an additional visual story. The mountain is actually a mound of patchwork quilt under which a child restlessly sleeps just before dawn. As the mound twists and turns, the teddy bear is pulled up over the mountain. As the bear reaches the top, it pauses to view the other of the mountain and then slides down to the floor. At this point in the picture-story it is discovered that the smiling sun is actually a globe lamp beside the bed watching over the event.
