Bartholomew Bear is a beautifully observed toddler, suffering as he does all the tears, tantrums and joys of toddler-hood with gusto.

Get Into Bed! tells a story that parents everywhere will find all too familiar: it's time for bed, and the stubborn little bear is doing everything he possibly can to delay the inevitable. But George Bear is even more stubborn, and knows just how to handle the stroppy little'un, and before long the cantankerous Bartholomew is snuggling and huggling his way to slumber.

An absolute pleasure for all concerned, Get into Bed is a sturdy little board book that toddlers can manhandle to their heart's content, while parents can make their bedtime message through a lively, funny story --Susan Harrison. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Synopsis
The third tale in a series about toddlerhood, as lived by a charming baby bear. "On Your Potty!" dealt with toilet training,"Eat Your Dinner" dealt with mealtime discipline and this third story about little Bartholomew and his guardian George, "Get Into Bed", tackles the knotty problem of getting a lively youngster to go to sleep. Will Ba brush his teeth? Nah. Will he go to bed? Nah. He plays up, as children will do, until George bawls, "get into bed!". Bartholomew does, but soon he's giggling and wriggling, cuddling and snuggling, sighing and yawning and, finally, falling asleep. Virginia Miller, who also publishes under the name Virginia Austin, has also written "Squeak-a-lot", which was runner-up for the Mother Goose Award in 1991. She has since illustrated "Sailor Bear" and her own story "Say Please!", and two more stories about Bartholomew and George, "On Your Potty" and "Eat Your Dinner!"
