Description

This classic children’s book is perfect for young and reluctant readers, thanks to its clever repetition and use of only 24 words!

Bears in the Night follows the exciting journey of little bears as they venture out of bed, to the window, and through the woods. Whoooo!

This story offers scares for the little bears, making it an engaging read for beginning and reluctant readers. The story's repetition ensures easy learning, and the spooky yet safe theme is a favourite among young ones.

Beginner Books are designed to encourage even ‘non-reading’ children to read. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types are crafted to give children confidence and foster a love for reading. Bears in the Night is perfect for both boys and girls aged 3 and up.
