What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

A fun, interactive reading experience for families to share at bedtime and create a new storytime tradition as well as celebrate the power of playtime with Dad. The sun is setting in the forest, which means it’s time for four little bears to head on home and get ready for bed. But wait . . . what’s that growly sound? And hold on–what’s that smelly smell? Oh no, it can mean only one thing: BIG BEAR IS COMING! Inspired by a game the author plays with her own children, this book captures all the joy and charm of a cherished bedtime routine. Adorable illustrations of a family of bears are paired with irresistible read-along refrains and join-in actions, encouraging readers to use all their senses to listen, smell, and watch out for what (or WHO) is coming next. A surprise ending is sure to make this a bedtime staple and have children shouting, “Again! Again!”
