A book I’d recommend for children who do not want to go to sleep.

The young bear who does not want to sleep, tries to find every reason to stay awake, but the mother bear are ready for a simple argument as to why they should sleep.

I really liked the artwork in this book, and the simple message of trying to get their child to go to sleep. I’d recommend it!

An enjoyable board book for toddlers about getting to bed. Little Bear sees different animals getting ready for bed. I think toddlers will especially enjoy the interactive elements of this book.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Digitally, the interactive side of this – all pull-tabs and sliders (not the fast food kind, I don't think) doesn't come across, but the visuals are strong, and it's a pleasant 'my first sending-me-to-sleep' book, with some nice animals tucking into their respective beds, even if the young bear cub at the centre of the story – much like the reader – doesn't want to quit the day yet. The collage style of the graphics makes this very friendly.

Thank you to the author, publisher, illustrator, and NG for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. Right off the bat, I thought the cover was really cute. The rest of the illustrations follow suit. I love the style and the bear family, the surroundings, and other creatures. The story is really short and appropriate for young readers, especially those learning to read or lovers of the bed time story. Cute & brief.

Super cute! My daughter is six and really enjoyed this one. She lives the illustrations and wished it was longer, but enjoyed it.

This is an adorable little bedtime story that young children up to age three or four would very much enjoy. The illustrations are simple, colorful, and appealing. I would also consider it educational to young children as it to refers to certain animals and where they sleep. A very cute bedtime book for children.

I’m always glad to read books geared toward urging little ones on to dream land, and I’ve got to say, Happy Yak’s Bedtime, Little Bear is one of the cutest!

Michelle Carlslund’s adorable illustrations are simply delightful. And I’m so sorry I’ve only got a digital copy of Bedtime, Little Bear, because I desperately want to pull those ribbons!

Happy Yak’s charming narration of Mommy Bear leading her cub home will captivate toddlers, and will no doubt be requested repeatedly at storytime.

A sweet little story for bedtime. Featuring cute little animals and lovely illustrations. The little bear doesn’t want to go to sleep but all the other animals are. A great book with a great story behind it.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Bedtime, Little Bear is a cute children's book aimed at younger children to encourage a good bedtime routine. This book is ideal for little ones to teach them that everyone goes to sleep at the end of the day and is relaxing, enabling the child to wind down ready for sleep. I got the Kindle version without the lift-the-flaps or pull-tabs, but I can see these extras on the physical book being really enchanting to the child. This book is a great little book full of lovely illustrations, soothing words, and is a great book for a child to share with someone who loves them before settling down into bed for the night.

Bedtime reading is such a special time at our house that is full of snuggles and love. Bedtime, Little Bear is exactly the kind of book that we love to incorporate into this time. The artwork is really sweet and it is especially wonderful that this book is interactive. Reading books like this one truly becomes a time of bonding and sharing a love of books with the littlest of readers as they become relaxed and ready for sleep at the end of a busy day.

Thank you netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for providing me with an advanced release digital copy of this sweet little book that is sure to become a bedtime favorite for babies.

This is a cute board book for toddlers about bedtime. This really resonated with me as my toddler will find anything under the sun to delay bedtime. The little bear in this story was telling his Mommy that all the other insects and animals were still awake and didn’t understand why HE had to go to bed. Of course Mama Bear always has the answers. This was an adorable quick read for babies and toddlers.

Thank you #Netgalley, Happy Yak, and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for providing this arc.

'Bedtime, Little Bear' is a charming, interactive board book you'll want for your young children's bedtime reading rotation. With illustrations that mimic the transition to nighttime and a soothing, repetitive rhythm ("Flying to their nest to sleep, Little Bear" / "Buzzing to their hive to sleep, Little Bear"), this board book teaches children about the natural routine of bedtime in a relaxing, calming way. Recommended for little ones!

This is a simple but effective bedtime story for very young children. I like that it includes nature as Little Bear and his mother are walking home. Little Bear learns that bees, squirrels, rabbits, butterflies and others all head home for some sleep.

The illustrations enhance the story.Watch as the sky gets darker as the story goes on.

The info on this title says to pull a ribbon to explore the story. With an e galley, I could not do this.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto-Frances Lincoln Children’s Books. All opinions are my own.

This book will be published on 26 Apr 2022.
