Description

Get ready for bedtime with Bear's Nap, a fantastically funny story about an adorable bear trying to get to sleep, full of animal noises that children will love to join in with. From the reliably brilliant creator of Tidy and Monkey and Me.

All Bear wants is a quiet nap . . . but he can't work out who is keeping him awake with their cheep cheeping. An increasingly frustrated bear leaves his cosy cave to ask the other animals, but they none of them cheep. Maybe the culprit is closer to home?

Everyone will love meeting all the animals, and joining in with their familiar noises, in this very funny, warm, and beautifully illustrated story. Multi-award-winning Emily Gravett is at the height of her powers in this wonderful rhyming tale with a surprise comic ending.

This book is a beautiful way to introduce a child to different animals and the sounds associated with them, in a fun way. The rhyming was creative, and the pictures and the story itself had a touch of humor, which I loved!

Loved how the story ends with all the other animals bothered by the bear!

Thanks to Pan MacMillian for the ARC of Bear’s Nap.
This was a beautifully illustrated children’s book that teaches about the sounds that numerous animals make (like a donkey, snake etc). I read it with my nephew and he had a great time making the sounds of each of the animals.

Delightful and funny book about a bear trying to go to sleep but who’s kept awake by various animals in the forest. The illustrations are super cute with a blue monochrome background and with the animals done in colour to help them pop from the page. The story itself is the kind of sweet and silly thing that would make young children giggle. I can see this being a fun bedtime read with my own daughter who is almost 4 years old. I think this book would probably do well with kids aged 3-6.

Thank you to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for the opportunity to read this book. All opinions are my own.
