This is one of my favorite little story books. Somehow, I identify strongly with Papa Bear.
Oh, there's nothing wrong with it, but my nieces ignore all attempts at audience participation and it just doesn't interest them. *shrugs*
The hour was late and Mr Bear was tired, but he could not sleep however hard he tried.
