Overview

New York Times best-selling author Karma Wilson's Bear books enchant listeners with their loveable characters and timeless lessons. Christmas is coming! But Bear is sleeping, and his friends don't want him to snooze through the whole holiday season. So they wake him up and give him lots to do. Bear wraps presents, bakes treats, and decorates as much as he can. And the fun is just starting, because a special visitor just might make this the best Christmas yet.

School Library Journal, starred review Kids will ask for this book again and again.

Children's Literature - Dr. Judy Rowen

Bear normally hibernates in the winter, so he misses Christmas. His forest friends want to share the holiday with him, so Mouse shouts in his ear to awaken him and the animals agree to keep Bear busy so he will stay awake. Bear carries the Christmas tree back to his lair and the other animals decorate it. The animals are anthropomorphic enough to stand on their hind legs to stir popcorn and string it for the tree, but their surroundings are the snowy forest. Most of the text rhymes, which even forces a grammatical error: "He plods very slow/as they trudge through the snow." Will Bear stay awake to greet Christmas? And what is the perfect gift for a sleepy Bear? Bear has appeared in other books—Bear Snores On and Bear Wants More. Now younger children can enjoy the story which has been reissued in board book format. Children who love the story will undoubtedly want the others. Reviewer: Dr. Judy Rowen
