Work detailsBear Snores On by Karma Wilson
None. This is a fun rhyming story that could introuce hibernation though science is hardly focus here. It is a cute story of a collection of animals that gather in a bear's den during a terrible storm while he sleeps. The group grows a few animals at a time and the party grows continually until the bear sniffs a pinch of pepper and sneezes himself awake. He's understandably upset to find his den occupied by so many but they are friendly animals and they ofer him to join i the festivities and they all become great friends. It's a nice primary story of friendship. (  ) matthewbloome | May 19, 2013 |  One cold winter night while a bear was sleeping some animals creeped into his cave and had a party, but bear slept on. Then bear woke up and he scared everyone away. Then he was sad because he missed the party. So everyone came back and they had a party together. (  ) bekeelen | Apr 11, 2013 | Internet UPC Database ritubohara | Apr 8, 2013 | This book is about the bear sleeping through winter. One by one other forest animals come into bears cave to sleep with him. With all of these new animals now staying in there the noise level got so loud that it woke the bear up. This story is great for young children when winter is about to start. (  ) E.OB | Dec 10, 2012 | Bear Snores On is about a bear who is hibernating during the winter, and lots of different animals come and stay in his cave to stay warm from the snow. They end up making too much noise and waking up the bear. This is very predictable story and intended for young elementary school children. ( ) HelenDiekoff | Dec 10, 2012 |
Ages 3-6. "In a cave in the woods, in his deep, dark lair, through the long, cold winter sleeps a great brown bear." To the rhythm of such fetching verses, a tiny mouse seeks shelter in a bear's snug cave. A hare soon follows, and the two quietly pop corn and brew tea as "bear snores on." Then a badger arrives with crunchy nuts to share, followed by a gopher, a mole, a wren, and a raven. Bear's den is full and noisy (as indicated by the large, bold type), but bear still "snores on." Then a fleck of pepper for the stew mouse is seasoning makes Bear sneeze, and he awakens to the revelers in his cave. Happy for the company and the food they have prepared, he stays up all night telling stories. In the morning, it's Bear who is awake; everyone else is fast asleep and snoring. The comfy look of Bear's cave and the snappy rhythm of the text beckon youngsters into the story, and the expressively drawn, amusingly posed animal characters ensure repeated readings.
