Don't Wake Up the Bear!

By Marjorie Dennis Murray

Book Overview

It's a cold, snowy night, and a big, soft bear sleeps soundly in his cave. A small hare wanders by, and since his ears are so cold, he snuggles up in the bear's cozy den. Before long, a fox comes along with the same idea. "You may come in," says the hare, "but don't wake up the bear " As the night wears on, the nest of sleeping animals expands until a mouse with a cold curls up right in the bear's ear--and wakes him up with a loud sneeze Warm, playful illustrations and a repeating refrain make this bedtime book perfect for year-round reading.

a favorite

One of my favorite children's books; I don't mind reading it over and over. Kids like the repeating lines, and I like the illustrations.

Very Enjoyable Book

I read this book to my preschoolers with disabilities every year. We have found stuffed animals to match each character,the kids act out the story with the animals as the tape rolls along. They love it and ask for it over and over again!

Wonderful

My son who is 4 talked about this book nonstop since they have it at preschool. He literally memorized it. I purchased it for him at Christmas and had to purchase a second one for his school since they read it so much that it was stapled and taped together. Wonderful!

Great for a 2 year old

My son loves this book! The language is simple and some of the lines repeat, so he can "read" along with me. He loves the part where the bear wakes up and growls, because he can growl like the big bear. The pictures are beautiful, and this book is definitely a winner in our house.
