Review

A warm and reassuring story about a little bear that does not want to go to sleep on the first night of winter. She is just not sleepy, and has lots of questions about why winter is for sleeping. Mother is patient, loving, and reassuring, and, by the end, Little Miss Bear and her mother are sound asleep. Author and illustrator are well matched and go well together, the illustrations are done in pencil ans ink and assembled digitally and go well with the text making this an excellent bed time story. Recommended.

Overall Book Score: excellent
