Review

In this sequel to Room for Bear, bear has become part of the duck family and all is well until winter approaches. Bear, not wanting to miss anything has decided to stay up through the winter. Though he tries valiantly, he cannot fight nature and with sleep demanding its due, mother duck assures him that he will always be close. she then sends him off to bed. Like the story itself, the illustrations are gentle and soft, giving the reader the feeling of the calm and love found in the story. Both books show the reader the love a family has for each of its members no matter who they are ,how they look or where they are. this is a nice quiet read to be enjoyed by reader and listener.

Overall Book Score: very good
