Bear is snug in bed, ready to hibernate until his raccoon friends come running to his house, begging him to come out and play. Bear tries to explain that it's bedtime for bears, but as he attempts to close his eyes, he still hears his friends playing. His friends continue to beg, but when Bear opens the door and gets hit with a snowball, it's ON! As Bear tries to shoo them away, he trips, flips and slips and finds himself covered in snow, laughing. Bear gets swept up into the fun and after a long day of play, it's the raccoons who are asking, "Isn't it bedtime for bears?"
Helquist is an amazing illustrator and his graphic-novel style turns this book into one giant cartoon that you'll be reading over and over at bedtime. Chances are your little cubs will want to keep playing while you're ready to hibernate!

ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you here, Ms. Dawn! :) Your latest post at your blog had me laughing my butt off! Now that book is genius--one of those when I bang my head against the wall and think, "Why couldn't I have come up with that idea?" Love it! :)
