Shh! Bears Sleeping




When winter comes, it's time for bears to sleep in this beautiful board book for the very young reader.

In the fall
When leaves turn red
Bears know soon
It’s time for bed
Comes winter
Comes snow
Bears are ready
Bears go
In their cave
Warm and deep
Winter is time
For bears to sleep
 
A lilting read-aloud text and stunning pictures combine to make an irresistibly appealing picture book that follows these fascinating animal friends through the cycle of the year. A page of facts about bears will answer young readers' questions as they begin to explore the wonders of the natural world.

"Highly recommended for reading aloud." --Booklist

"Gorgeous oil paintings convey the changing cycles of the seasons as seen through the eyes of a black bear and her cubs. The spare text utilizes rhyme and conveys the passing of time." --School Library Journal
