Little Bear Sleeping

Tony Johnston continues the Little Bear theme of heartwarming stories nestled in a cozy wood.

Ok, so I'm on an out-doorsy kick. Summer has officially arrived and the world around me is alive with crickety sounds, pesky mosquitoes, bubbling creeks, and verdant leaves. Severe thunderstorms (like the one rocking the couch as I type) limit me to the second best way of experiencing summer...reading of course!

Nuts to You!

What do you do with a furry invader? Our little protagonist finds himself trapped in an apartment one summery afternoon, and his escape route necessarily involves what squirrels love most -- nuts! Each page of this interactive picture book labels insects and other creatures. The glossary in the back offers nifty details about woodland animals. Ehlert is a master story-teller, but the cut-paper collage illustrations are equally inspiring.
