No Sleep for Bear

Winter is coming, and Bear is getting ready for a nice, long sleep. His cave is cosy, his tummy is full but, no matter how hard he tries, Bear just cannot get to sleep. Will his woodland friends be able to help out, or is Bear in for a very long winter?

Why we love this book:

Many of you will be able to relate to Bear’s struggle to fall asleep. It’s a great book to start a discussion about what helps you fall asleep and how everyone might need something different. The text is styled to guide you through reading it, so you’ll know exactly where to put emphasis on words. Have fun with it, and you can even give each animal a different voice!
