Being woken up in the middle of his winter’s sleep and finding uninvited guest having a party without him… is just too much for bear. It is a heartwarming book about a bear who sleeps through much activity as a variety of animals take shelter in his lair from the cold. Her hobbies include reading (of course), photography, baking, yoga, and a passion for Mixed Martial Arts. This read-aloud rhyming story has fun, suspense and a happy ending – with Jane Chapman’s beautiful, captivating illustrations and Karma Wilson’s absorbing, lyrical words perfectly depicting the companionship of the warm, cosy cave and the contrast with the wild storm outside.

This would be a great book to read aloud to your class especially with the fantastic illustrations the book offers. Knowledge comes through words, so for me literacy is the foundation of education, and it bears the fruit of intelligent and empathetic citizens of this world and humanity. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills.

The story flows well with interesting words and good rhymes so reading it multiple times is not a chore! Countless rejections and three years later Karma was finally accepted by book agent Steven Malk (who had already rejected her once, which she never lets him forget). Great way to introduce hibernation and also talk about some misconceptions about what other animals do during the winter. Award winning illustrator Jane Chapman graduated from Brighton University with a First Class Honours degree in illustration. She was even known to try to read while riding her bike down dirt roads, which she does not recommend as it is hazardous to the general well being of the bike, the rider, and more importantly the book.
