Description

I really enjoyed this gentle tale (that is not without humor) about Little Bear who can't get to sleep because of his fear of the dark, and patient and resourceful Big Bear who helps him through his fears (even though Big Bear has a very exciting part of his book to read and keeps getting interrupted! Big Bear learns that it's better to deal with a problem head on rather than ignore it by coming up with tiny or large remedies that will not last. This kid's book is so sweet because it deals with a fear most (if not all) of us have known before: the fear of the dark. Big Bear sees Little Bear in distress so he stops reading his book and gives Little Bear a small lantern to sleep with, however, it seems this isn't enough for Little Bear.

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. The bit about them going out of the cave into the big dark unknown and the little bear being scared resonated with us as we were terrified about taking our baby out into the unknown.

Big Bear and Little Bear - "Big Bear is the big bear, and Little Bear is the little bear," the narrator informs us, in one of those dead-pan asides that I always find irresistibly hilarious - settle in for the night in this charming bedtime story about being afraid of the dark. 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. to bring him progressively larger lanterns, nothing seems to help him overcome his fear of the dark that is "all around. Cute book where Big Bear tries to get Little Bear to sleep but Little Bear is scared of the dark so big Bear must find a solution. My severe learning difficulties nursery class are reading the book as part of their literacy lessons which they absolutely love.

The story is predictable but very comforting and the illustrations are cozy, expressive, and interesting. It’s all about the little bear not being able to sleep as he is scared ‘of the dark all around them’ and the big bear trying different ways to light up his room to reassure little bear that there is no need to be afraid of the dark, which only works when he finds the perfect way to comfort his fears, outside, in front of the moon which is the biggest light of them all. To experience the idea of the different types of light used for the little bear to try and get to sleep we give the children different sized lanterns and a flickering candle to look at. Even if he's seen the DVD that night, though, there's nothing like a bedtime story from mum - and this book has fast become one of his very favourites. It is an excellent story to use expression when being told, making it an excellent book to engage the child whom it is being read to( eg.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. They are also shaped like windows so that the reader is almost looking into this new world where the bears live.

It’s such a lovely story and the way that my children understand it is to actual experience the key features of the book for themselves.

It will make them laugh as well as allowing them to do choral reading as Little Bear constantly repeats the same phrase every time he complains about the dark! The children loved this story and so did I, it is about a little bear who cannot go to sleep because he is afraid of the dark. He's frightened of the dark, the dark all around, which not even Big Bear's largest lantern can light up.Barbara Firth's illustrations, of course, are stunning and pitched just right for such a soothing tale. John 8:12 - Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. different voices for little bear and big bear, facial expressions protraying fear, reassurance etc). Looking for more dad books, as I believe this will be the first Father's Day theme I've done in storytime. It is illustated in a very complimentary way, with beatiful pictures, again, great for engaging a child.

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 artwork by Barbara Firth is simply delightful, perfectly capturing the emotional register of each scene. It was relatable to us on so many levels; a little baby bear being afraid of the dark/the unknown and the big bear trying to help by shedding some light on the situation.
