Don't Wake Up the Bear! — Marjorie Dennis Murray

It's a cold, snowy night, and a big, soft bear sleeps soundly in his cave. A small hare wanders by, and since his ears are so cold, he snuggles up in the bear's cozy den. Before long, a fox comes along with the same idea. "You may come in," says the hare, "but don't wake up the bear!" As the night wears on, the nest of sleeping animals expands until a mouse with a cold curls up right in the bear's ear―and wakes him up with a loud sneeze!

Warm, playful illustrations and a repeating refrain make this bedtime book perfect for year-round reading.
