Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep! — Maureen Wright

It s time for Big Bear to hibernate, so Old Man Winter keeps telling him: Sleep, Big Bear, sleep. But Big Bear doesn t hear very well. He thinks Old Man Winter has told him to drive a jeep, to sweep, and to leap. Big Bear just can t seem to hear what Old Man Winter is saying. Finally, Old Man Winter finds a noisy way to get Big Bear s attention. Cozy illustrations rendered in pencil and mixed media by Will Hillenbrand bring this bedtime story to a fitting conclusion."
