In my opinion, I think this is a great book. I like the language pattern in the book. For example “ I had to go into the Woods. And I wasn’t afraid at all. Until… I ran into a BIG SCARY BROWN BEAR!” Each time the main character approaches another creature the book repeats the phrase “We weren’t afraid until…” Another reason why I like this book is because of the illustrations when the main character comes in contact with another creature, the creatures are large and colorful which makes the story more engaging. The big idea for this book is to share because the main character shares his bedtime things with the other creatures.

This is a story about a little boy's adventure in the woods where he goes to look for his stuffed bunny. As he walks in the woods he comes across many woodsy friends.

In my opinion, this is a good and creative book. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and enhance the story. The main character walks into the woods and says, “I wasn’t afraid at all until . . . I ran into a BIG, SCARY, BROWN BEAR!” The illustrations for this sentence take up two whole pages. One page is filled with a large and scary illustration of a bear. The other page shows the main character who has his mouth wide open and drops what he is holding from being so scared. These illustrations allow the reader to clearly see and feel how scared the main character was from seeing the giant bear. The main character in the book is realistic. He is a young boy who cannot go to sleep because he cannot find his stuffed animal bunny. Once he realizes he cannot find his bunny, he says, “There was only one place left to look. I had to go into the woods.” He imagines himself grabbing a sword and walking through the dark, scary woods in order to find where his bunny went. Many young boys have such vivid imaginations just like the main character. The big idea of the story is that your imagination can take you anywhere you want to go. The main character used toys in his room to create a profound adventure. Children can use their imagination in numerous ways to make things more exciting. ( )

A young boy practices his nightly rituals for bed; turns on his night-light, reads a story, cozies up in his blanket, and gives his bunny a hug...wait! His bunny is missing. This is where he journeys the only place it could be, the woods. And although he "wasn't afraid at all..." he encounters many a foe, who in turn are really bothered by similar things as the boy. By the end, he is back in bed with his bunny, and all the "foe" he encountered on his journey. ( )
