A fun, join-in reading experience for families to share together at bedtime and create a new story time tradition. With adorable bears, this celebrates the power (AND fun!) of playtime with dad. A PERFECT Father's Day gift.
The sun is setting in the forest, which means it’s time for four little bears to head on home and get ready for bed. But wait … what’s that growly sound? And hold on – what’s that smelly smell? Oh no, it can only mean one thing: BIG BEAR IS COMING!
Anuska Allepuz, author-illustrator of Little Green Donkey, captures the fun of a bedtime game she plays with her own children. Adorable illustrations of a family of bears are paired with read-along refrains and join-in actions, encouraging readers to use all of their senses to listen, smell and watch out for what (or WHO) is coming next. A surprise ending is sure to make this a bedtime staple and have children shouting, “Again! Again!”
