Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This Big Book edition is perfect for sharing with groups of young children.
Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Smarties Prize for Children's Books, this luscious- as-chocolate tale of the little bear who just can't go to sleep should find a place on every pre-school bookshelf.
While Big Bear tries to read his Bear Book, Little Bear tries to sleep, but can't. He's scared of the dark. So Big Bear keeps bringing him progressively bigger lanterns. But nothing seems to work, until he leads Little Bear out of the Bear Cave into the dark nights.
NB. There is some debate as to whether Little Bear was really trying very hard to get to sleep. Some of the illustrations seem to show him bouncing around rather a lot. You decide. (Ages 2 to 5)--Lisa Gee
A regular size edition is also available.
Product Description
Little Bear can't sleep. He is frightened of the dark, even with the biggest lantern of them all at his bedside. But Big Bear finds an ingenious way to reassure him. So Big Bear takes him out and shows him the moon and the stars - and Little Bear then falls asleep.

I used to read this to my son, years ago. Came across it again recently and it STILL brings a lump to my throat. A brilliant, wise and poetic book, that never ever fades from the memory!
Format:Paperback
Great for reading to multiple children if you want to be able to turn it around to show them all the pictures. It's a really cute story too...

I love this book to tiny little pieces. They're tiny.
I lived apart from my boyfriend at uni and he'd call to read me parts of the book late at night. I knew every word off by heart and still do.
There are some heart-warming moments and some funny ones - notably Little Bear's caustic 'not MUCH bigger!'when proffered a slightly larger lamp. Listen out for it.
Thanks T.

The over-sevens are quite partial, as well.
When my best friend and I - she a 22-year old woman, me a 28 year old man, and both of us cynical newspaper journalists - moved into a flat we shared for a while in 1995, we found... Read more

It is a briliant story book for under sevens.
I liked the book because the characters were kind and the story was enjoyable. I liked the bit where little bear did somersaults on his bed because it was funny. Read more
