Of its popularity, an animated TV series was developed, and at the time of Else's death, more than six-million copies of the "Little Bear" series were sold. The tale caught the attention of Harper and Row editor Ursula Nordstrom which led to the first installment of the "Little Bear" (1957) series being published. Minarik's imagination yielded the story of a little bear and his mother.
It was at this period when she realized the necessity of compatible books for younger readers, and from this understanding, she set out to write her creation. She answered the call for interim teachers due to a shortage of educators during World War II and taught first graders. She enrolled at Queens College, where she studied psychology, and later became a journalist for the Rome Daily Centennial. Her story-telling talents were born out of her enthrallment with Hans Christian Anderson's works. Born in Denmark, she moved with her family to the United States when she was the age of four. A writer of children's literature, she will be best remembered for penning the "Little Bear" series. Her second husband was two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Homer Bigart.Īuthor.
