Father Bear is definitely the head of the three bears’ household. He has the biggest bed, the biggest chair, and, of course, the biggest bowl of oatmeal.
In his red shirt and green pants with suspenders, he’s a traditional type of bear. But his stern expression and burly build give you a hint that you would be wise not to get on his bad side.
