Customer Reviews

A wonderful wordless picturebook.

Ages 2-6 will find here a gentle story of a young bear wakened by a full moon, who discovers things alive in the night. The wordless picture book provides dark yet engaging illustrations as it follows Boswell's patrol of the premises.

Baby bear Boswell "shuts down" the house for the night

This is another clever book and character. You can sit down with your child and use his or her imagination. Boswell, a very endearing little bear, goes about the home inside and outside taking care of things left undone. Every parent would love to have a child like Boswell. He even gives each of his parents a kiss goodnight as they lay asleep--a role reversal that is very effective with this story. If you like Carl you'll like Boswell.
