It's About Time, Jesse Bear — Nancy White Carlstrom

From the moment an exuberant Jesse Bear pounces on his sleeping parents' bed to his final goodnight kiss, his day is filled with adventure, fun, and the occasional bit of mischief. Preschoolers and their parents will find much to identify with in Nancy White Carlstrom's joyous, rhythmic poems -- ideal for reading aloud -- and in Bruce Degen's bright, detailed ink-and-watercolor illustrations.
