Throughout the series, he has grown somewhat, as his voice is slightly deeper, and he rarely takes naps. He is the only character whose parents are shown other than the exception of Duck's mother in one show who is a chicken. Little Bear lives in a stucco, wood, plaster, and brick house.

In the final chapter, Little Bear tells his mother about his wishes at bedtime. He wishes he could fly and travel to far off places and meet a princess who would give him cake. Mother says he can't do those things, but she reminds him of his fun adventures playing in the snow and going to the moon.
