Animals crawl into bear's den to get out of the snowy night ... but what will happen if the wear wakes up? ( )

This book is about a bear that sleeps through the party. The setting is winter and the bear is a sleep in the lair. All the other animals come in the lair and have pop corn, black tea, honey-nuts and stew. The other animals have fun the whole time “the bear snores on”. When the bear finally wakes up he is sad for he wanted to have fun too. The animals made more tea and pop corn then the bear tell tales and all the other animals fall asleep.

The pictures are rich with color. I liked how the author told the setting through the pictures. I also like how the book used the font. You can change you voice to fit the story through the font.

Talk to the kids about the setting of the story, also how it’s winter time. Discuss how bears sleep in the winter time. Ask what they would do, if they were the other animals, when the bear wakes up. ( )

This is good book to read to students when discussing bears. There is a bear that is sleeping through the winter, and some animals decide to have a get together in his cave. The animals do have to be careful and not wake the sleeping bear. ( )

Small critters gather for a winter party in Bear's den. Bear sleeps like through it all.... until. This book has grown on me to the point that I love it, and love reading it. The text is brilliant. It's cute, rhythmic and rhymes and the tone is flexible. You can make it a happy book through and through, or you can make Bear scary in his "deep dark lair" and build some suspense. Illustrations are cute too, and I especially love one picture with the animals dancing in the firelight so that all we see are their black silhouettes and a very large sleeping brown bear in color.

Currently my two-year-old absolutely loves it. My almost-four-year-old enjoys it, but not as much as she used to. ( )

I loved this cute book! It is about a hibernating bear and the party that goes on while he is sleeping. The entire book rhymed which I loved. I also loved the illistrations. I thought it was funny how a pepper flake made the bear wake up and also that when he did wake up all he wanted to do was be included in the party. I loved this book and would definitely read it to my class. ( )
