Description

I remember very well myself that I could never sleep when I was a child, not because of the dark but I just could not fall asleep.

However, even if you havent had a horrendous and dramatic birth experience it’s still a very sweet and funny book and I highly recommend it as a bedtime story. 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. The second bedtime book from Northern Irish author Martin Waddell, after the equally delightful Owl Babies, that I have read, Can't You Sleep, Little Bear? To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Honestly I think I enjoyed this more than the kids with how Big Bear wants to get back to his book but he patiently puts Little Bear to bed each time. The children were glued to the book as it was being read and were interested in finding out what was going to happen to help little bear fall asleep. 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.

Described as ‘the most perfect children’s book ever written’, this is a beautiful 25th anniversary edition of the Kate Greenaway-winning story of Little Bear, who just can’t sleep. The reader becomes curious as to where the story is going which at the same time makes it an intriguing read.

This is a story about a little bear that is afraid of the dark, yet overcomes this fear with the help of Big Bear, a portrayal similar to parent and child and hence easy to relate to the comfort sought and the comfort given. This timeless and well-loved story is exquisitely brought to life in a special Mini Pop-Up Classic edition, making it the perfect gift and a book to treasure, time and time again. The little bear can’t fall asleep because he is afraid of the dark, and always seems to find some small area of darkness regardless of how many lanterns big bear brings for him.

My daughter suffered severe brain damage during her birth and as such we are unsure about her future ie.

After reading the story this way it has really highlighted that sensory stories are a real innovative way of allowing children who are at the very early stages of reading to explore literacy and it’s an approach that I will definitely use again especially if working in an early years setting as well as in a special needs school. It's a good story that used a lot of repetition throughout with 'Little Bear', 'Big Bear', conversation about the darkness and sleeping. The artwork by Barbara Firth is simply delightful, perfectly capturing the emotional register of each scene. The book also made the children laugh and they identified the repetition which they enjoyed joining in with.
