WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO WAKE A BEAR ?
.

Our friend the bear has been asleep all winter. The time for hibernation is over.

One by one bear's friends come by his cave and try to wake him up.

You'd think a lions roar would do the job. What about an acorn dropped on bear's nose by squirrel? Snore, snore, snore. Bear sleeps on.

We have parrots, monkey and even a cat (who looks remarkably like Scarface Claw from the Hairy Mac books) come by the cave and try their best to wake bear. But nothing seems to work.

Eventually 10 different animals have tried to wake bear, with their own tricks, but none succeed. Just then, there is a buzzing sound and we all know what makes buzzing sounds don't we. Z z z z z z

A bear gets very hungry after sleeping all winter and what do bears love to eat most of all?

This book is delightfully illustrated with the pictures and the story cleverly melding. This is one of Lynley Dodd's best books outside of the Hairy Maclary series. ... Read more

Book Description

The other little pigs snuggled and snoozed, but little Pig Figwort could not get to sleep! "What I need is an adventure," Pig Figwort decides, and he's off for a dive in his submarine. But no one on the ocean floor wants to have fun; the mermaids and starfish are sleepy. So are the polar bears and seals at the North Pole. The moon pigs in outer space, however, are ready to play with Figwort until he just can't play anymore and goes home. "That was so much fun that I don't think I'll ever go to sleep again," says Figwort, as he snuggles up with all the other little pigs and falls fast asleep. Dedicated "to all sleepless piglets around the world," this book is a wonderful bedtime read-aloud. ... Read more

First grade class enjoys "Bernard's Nap".
Recently my first grade class listened as I read "Bernard's Nap" and it seemed they thoroughly identified with the nap-delaying tactics employed by Bernard. Their eyes sparkled as he was not only able to put off napping for a bit longer, but was able to tuck in all the adults in the process. The pictures were soft and comfortable and filled with interesting and unusual details because Bernard's family are elephants, and as my childrens said, they live in an 'elephant world'! ...
