Gorgeous illustrations and a charming tale.
In a cave in the woods sleeps a brown bear. All winter long the bear snores on...even though several other forest animals hole up in his cave. Then one day he wakes up!
Very good book with a suprise ending that all children will love. Repetitive yet creative in style
We LOVE the Bear books! They're a fun storyline for young kids as they quickly catch on to saying "but the bear snores on."
Excellent read aloud story for toddlers. Set in late winter, the bear is hibernating & his friends decide to come in out of the cold to have a party in his den. The festivities wake our friend bear who, after grumbling a bit, joins the party.
Great rhyming book about a hibernating bear and the animals that come to party while he is asleep.
All time favorite book in our household!! We LOVE the pictures and expressions on the animal faces. The book is written in a sing-song poetic type verse. Excellent and fun vocabulary to share with your children! Lovable characters, beautiful word choice, wonderful message of friendship, and fantastic illustrations! You will love the whole series, but this one is the best!!
Lots of fun for everyone. It's hibernation time and bear is asleep. While he sleeps other animals shelter in his cave from the cold winter. They build a fire, cook food, have a party, and bear sleeps on - but no for long. The full-page, full-color illustrations are evocative of all actions and emotions, as well as cute and intriguing.
Very cute! My kids liked it. The illustrations are very nicely done. From the back cover: In a cave in the woods, in his deep, dark
lair, through the long, cold winter sleeps a great brown bear.
lair, through the long, cold winter sleeps a great brown bear.
This is one of my favorite books to do for story time. I have the kids snore like the bear. The story keeps them listening and the illustrations are very nice.
This book is useful in my classrom.
Beautiful gift book.
On a cold windy night, an itty-bitty mouse "pitter-pat, tip-toe, creep-crawls" into a sleeping bear's cozy lair, looking for relief from the bitter winter weather. Soon he is joined by a veritable menagerie of woodland animals, and the party begins. Popping corn, brewing tea, tweeting, and chatting, the critters enjoy themselves thoroughly while the bear slumbers through it all. Until, that is, an errant pepper flake from the simmering stew wakes him up with a giant sneeze. As the bear goes from ferocious snarls and rumbles to pitiful whimpers, his uninvited guests realize what the problem is.
You've snuck in my lair
and you've all had fun!
But me? I was sleeping
and...
I have had none!
Not to worry. Mouse knows just what to do.
