This enchanting bedtime story, with its vivid illustrations, invites young readers to journey through the changing seasons alongside the bear and the boy, creating a soothing transition from wakefulness to dreams.
It’s time for bed, and a little boy chooses his favorite book for his mother to read to him. The bear in the book is preparing for his own deep slumber, hibernating through the winter while humans and other animals explore the snowy landscape around him. Just when the bear wakes up to greet the spring, the boy drifts off to sleep.
