Publisher Description
For fans of Karma Wilson’s Bear Snores On comes a whimsical bedtime story about a bear who is absolutely, positively not sleepy at all. . . .
Bear and his duck family do everything together. That is, until winter arrives. Bear is supposed to hibernate this time of year, but he doesn’t want to miss out on any of the fun. But can Bear really stay awake all winter long? Gentle humor and endearing illustrations bring a delightful twist to a bedtime routine that children and their parents will easily recognize.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bear, first seen in Room for Bear, loves his life with the ducks, but when he realizes that they'll be having fun while he's hibernating, it triggers a major case of FOMO (fear of missing out). "So Bear decided to stay awake," writes Gavin. But it's hard to fight one's nature, and after Bear keeps falling asleep during tennis matches and propped up against humming washing machines ("Every sound was a lullaby"), he gives in, awakening to a photo album that lets him share in what he missed. Contrasting Bear's bulk against the ducks' daintiness, Gavin's watercolors offer humor and tenderness in equal supply, making this blended family irresistible. Ages 3 7.
