The Littlest Bear

Product Information

In 1893, the Examiner used an illustration by Frank "Cozy" Noble of a bear as the paper's mascot for the San Francisco Mid-Winter Exposition of 1894. Following this, Swinnerton was asked to provide a bear illustration every day to accompany the paper's coverage of the fair. Swinnerton's first bear illustration appeared on October 14, 1893, and rapidly evolved into a cute little bear cub. When the fair closed, the Little Bear disappeared from the paper, but he returned on September 10, 1894, and started accompanying the weather report from October 2, 1894 until May 1895. [1]

Gamma Ursae Minoris is classified as a shell star, one that has a disk of gas surrounding its equator which causes variations in the star’s magnitude. Granny (voiced by Kay Hawtrey) is Emily's grandmother, with whom she and her parents live with in the summer and then permanently, has traveled the world, and has many odd pieces of furniture. She is the owner of Tutu. Halfway between the two shoulders there are a group of stars that make up Orion's head. It is not always possible to make out multiple stars making up the head because they are all quite dim, but usually at least one can be spotted. The constellation name Ursa Minor is pronounced /ˌɜːrsə ˈmaɪnər/. In English, the constellation is known as the Little Bear. The genitive form of Ursa Minor, used in star names, is Ursae Minoris (pronunciation: /ˌɜːrsiː mɪˈnɒrɪs/). The three-letter abbreviation, adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1922, is UMi.Four otter siblings sporadically appear; they reside in the local river and are balloon heads. They are frequent in episodes focusing on water activities. Mother Bear (voiced by Janet-Laine Green) is Little Bear's mother. She enjoys cooking and is always there to help Little Bear if he needs it. She also seems to be very tidy and does not like it when the house becomes messy. She normally wears a pink shirt and a blue skirt with a white apron. Because of its brightness and proximity to the pole, Polaris is an important star in celestial navigation and has been known by many different names, including Stella Maris (sea star), Alruccabah, Phoenice, Lodestar (guiding star, derived from the Old Norse leiðarstjarna), Cynosūra (from the Greek κυνόσουρα, meaning “the dog’s tail”), Angel Stern, Star of Arcady, Yilduz, Mismar (needle or nail), Tramontana, Navigatoria and Pole Star.

I also enjoy being in the city—although I wouldn't want to live there all the time, it's fun to go window shopping or to big new exhibitions or shows, or just hang out in a coffee shop with a cappuccino and a notebook and watch the busy world go by. Mitzi (voiced by Ashley Taylor) is a mischievous, sometimes rather unthoughtful, tomboyish monkey, who lives in a treehouse in the forest around Little Bear's home. She feels bad after slighting somebody's feelings or misleading them. She sometimes has green or white eyes. Mitzi is the last to join the supporting cast, not appearing until the end of season two.

The star’s traditional name, Pherkad, is derived from the Arabic farqad, meaning “calf,” short for the phrase aḫfa al farkadayn, which means “the dim one of the two calves.” Yildun – δ Ursae Minoris (Delta Ursae Minoris)When Ptolemy observed Polaris, it was a third magnitude star, but today it is 2.5 brighter, having changed to its current second magnitude in the meantime. On a more self-indulgent note, I love to get to the theater whenever I can, and to the ballet, which I adore. In another fantasy life I would definitely be a ballerina!
