It’s winter, and deep in the forest, Bear should be fast asleep. But when his friends come by to check on him, they realize that Bear is still awake! They brew him hot tea and sing him lullabies, but nothing seems to work. Can Bear get to bed? Or will he be up all winter?

Review
"Creating cozy scenes in toasty-warm colors, the expressive acrylic paintings show up beautifully from a little distance. A fine read-aloud choice for preschool teachers looking for picture books related to bears or hibernation." — Booklist

About the authors
My life is a series of lessons and moments that see me to the next lessons and moments. Some moments are sweet, some scary, some a blur gone too fast and forever missed. I write for children because all of these steps started there, in childhood, and that sense of wonder, keen curiosity, and the ability to see things much kinder and more magical than they actually were, fades as time passes and years and experience claim your naivety. For me it is a feeling only rekindled when I am creating books, stories and poetry.
My children, family and friends are a great inspiration to me, and the support of my readers is a tremendous honor. It is always my desire to entertain children and encourage them to think about and explore their world, and the worlds beyond, embrace creativity, and love learning for the duration of their life. Knowledge comes through words, so for me literacy is the foundation of education, and it bears the fruit of intelligent and empathetic citizens of this world and humanity.

Illustrator Chapman supplies soft, friendly pictures that make Bear’s cave warm and inviting. And who knew animals could have such a variety of expressions of concern and puzzlement? This is a book your youngsters will want you to read over and over again, and will likely chime each time you come to the key phrase. Sounds like fun! (Check out Wilson and Chapman’s other Bear books, too.)

My only complaint (minor) is this isn't the same physical size as the majority of the books, but it's worth purchasing all the same.
