Sleep, big bear, sleep! - Maureen Wright

It's time for Big Bear to hibernate, so Old Man Winter keeps telling him: Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep.

But Big Bear doesn't hear very well.

He thinks Old Man Winter has told him to drive a jeep, to sweep, and to leap.

Big Bear just can't seem to hear what Old Man Winter is saying.

Finally, Old Man Winter finds a noisy way to get Big Bear's attention.

Cozy illustrations rendered in pencil and mixed media by Will Hillenbrand bring this bedtime story to a fitting conclusion.
