Why read it?

1 author picked Bears in the Night as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The story of little bears who sneak out of bed to go find the source of a mysterious “WHHHHOOOOO” sound, its repetition of phrases makes it easy for emerging readers.

There can’t be more than 20 different words in the whole book, but it’s a vivid, fully realized story.

My daughter especially loves it when they crawl out of bed to go exploring.
