"Little Bear" is the opening track of Through the Windowpane, the 2006 debut album from indie band Guillemots. It was written by Guillemots frontman Fyfe Dangerfield, and in 2010 was listed in the reference book 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die. In a radio programme celebrating the 40th anniversary of BBC station Radio 1, Paul McCartney named "Little Bear" as one of his "all-time favourite songs". McCartney called the track "a very brave way to open an album", and praised its "beautiful orchestration".
