Title: The Perfect Bedtime Story
Review: Don't snooze your way through this precious picture book by Karma Wilson (Simon and Shuster, 2001). Bear is enjoying a long winter's nap in his cozy den when other woodland creatures start sneaking into his shelter to escape a savage snowstorm. Before long Bear's lair is transformed into party central while Bear snores on. But after awhile the noise finally wakes Bear up. Will he satisfy his savage winter hunger with a few convenient party guests? Probably not in this book, but still a hungry bear is a cranky bear and a cranky bear is not to be messed with.The realities of hibernation aside, this fantastical tale feature s lively characters and warm illustrations by Jane Chapman. The title also serves as a refrain which adds to rollicking rhythm of the language. A fun read for parent and child alike.
