Big Bear Is Coming!
Big Bear Is Coming!
When the sun begins to set these four little bears get ready:
Their eyes are looking.
Their noses are sniffing.
Their ears are listening…
A fun, interactive reading experience for families to share together at bedtime and create a new storytime tradition, and to celebrate the power of playtime with dad.
The sun is setting in the forest, which means it’s time for four little bears to head on home and get ready for bed. But wait … what’s that growly sound? And hold on – what’s that smelly smell? Oh no, it can only mean one thing: BIG BEAR IS COMING!
Anuska Allepuz, author-illustrator of Little Green Donkey and That Fruit Is Mine!, captures all the joy and charm of a cherished bedtime game she plays with her own children. Adorable illustrations of a family of bears are paired with irresistible read-along refrains and join-in actions, encouraging readers to use all of their senses to listen, smell, and watch out for what (or WHO) is coming next. A surprise ending is sure to make this a bedtime staple and have children shouting, “Again! Again!”
