In this sweet, lyrical picture book, perfect for bedtime, a playful cub prepares for hibernation, saving just enough time for Mama to share a story before they must settle down.(goodreads summary)
After reading this sweet story about a small bear getting ready for winter, I realized that in no time we will be getting ourselves ready for the change of season as well Small bear is eager for his mama to tell him a story before they turn in for their long winters nap. But before she can do that, he has certain things he needs to do first to get ready. "No dilly dally", says mama. The text and illustrations are soothing and gentle making this a great story to cuddle up with before bedtime. Soft muted colors also add to the very calming read. It is sweet how small bear keeps mama's words in mind to help him stay focused and on task with his chores so he can hear a story in the end. It could begin a conversation about bears and hibernation or even things we do to prepare for winter. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 4-7.~
