Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?

Product Information

The story is predictable but very comforting and the illustrations are cozy, expressive, and interesting.

It showed the children that everyone has these feelings and if they try very hard they can overcome them and feel proud of themselves for doing so. Le pagine sono belle e resistenti, anche quelle popup, che in alcuni altri libri invece sembrano essere fragili. Celebrate 25 years of Big Bear, Little Bear and their cosy cave in this gorgeous anniversary edition of a classic bedtime favourite. in un inglese comprensibile anche perni bimbi piccoli,con frasi brevi e che si ripetono, il che non solo piace ai bimbi, ma aiuta anche a fissare le espressioni. However as they are so young and don’t yet have the cognitive ability to have this book read to them fully as a class they have the story read to them as a sensory story – which I have found fascinating.The children will easily be able to understand the plot of the story and will look forward to finding out Big Bear's solution to curing the darkness so that Little Bear can finally go to sleep in one peace!

The illustrations are darling and I loved how, in the end, Big Bear wanted Little Bear to confront his fear of the dark, but did so in a very gentle and reassuring way helping him to always see the lights that appear in the darkness. I recently bought this for a friend who is expecting, I hadn't noticed it was a 'pop up' version, so was pleasantly surprised. The DVD is short but beautiful, using the original pictures from the book with a little animation, soothing narration and gentle backing music to tell the story. It will make them laugh as well as allowing them to do choral reading as Little Bear constantly repeats the same phrase every time he complains about the dark!Barbara Firth's illustrations, of course, are stunning and pitched just right for such a soothing tale.
