Ep 8. Where Lucy Went / Under the Covers / Monster Pudding

In the season 3 episode 8 of Little Bear, we are taken on a charming ride through some of the most memorable moments of childhood as Little Bear seeks out his dear friend Lucy. The episode is divided into three parts, namely Where Lucy Went, Under the Covers, and Monster Pudding.

In the first segment, Where Lucy Went, Little Bear is on a mission to find his friend Lucy who has disappeared. We see him working his way through the woods and asking all his animal friends if they have seen her. With no luck, he gets lost himself and finds himself in a cave full of bats where he discovers Lucy enjoying a lovely picnic. We see the joy on Little Bear's face at finding his friend, and the two of them continue to frolic and enjoy each other's company.

The second segment, Under the Covers, takes us to nighttime, and we see Little Bear preparing for bed. He realizes that while he is snug under the covers, he can't see his friends anymore, which makes him sad. His wise grandmother then tells him a story about the constellations that twinkle in the night sky, and how they are just like his friends, always watching over him. With this newfound comfort, Little Bear drifts off to sleep, happy in the knowledge that his loved ones are always nearby.

The final segment, Monster Pudding, sees Little Bear having a very peculiar dream where he is trying to make a monster pudding, but everything he adds to it seems to be turning it sour. He enlists the help of his friends, Hen and Owl, who have equally eccentric solutions. As the dream progresses, we see these bizarre ingredients multiplying, causing hilarious chaos and a big, bubbly mess in the kitchen. In the end, Little Bear wakes up, having learned that sometimes the perfect recipe is to let things be, and accept the love and friendship around him for what it is - a perfect concoction of joy.

All in all, Little Bear season 3 episode 8 is a delightful reminder of childhood innocence and the simple pleasures of life. With its charming storyline and lovable characters, this episode will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
