Mrs. Bear is
tucking her son Sam into bed. But he isn’t quite ready and is waiting for
something else. So Mrs. Bear keeps trying to guess, offering warm milk,
stories, and adjusting the blankets. Finally she figures out that Sam wants
kisses.
Obviously this
book is popular or the publishers wouldn’t be running this re-print. It would
be better for a bedtime book than for a pre-k library. Young listeners might like
the repetitive wording and the same cozy scene, but I found it a bit boring and
I’m the one who would be reading it. Pre-K students could not picture walk this
book and figure out what is going on.
