A Bed for Bear by Clive McFarland

A Bed for Bear

by Clive McFarland

Children will fall in love with Bernard, the sleepy bear with a simple wish, in A Bed for Bear. It's time for Bernard to hibernate, but the bear cave is too crowded, too quiet, and too uncomfortable. So Bernard sets out to search the forest for the perfect bed for winter. But all he discovers are spots too windy, too wet, and too wild for him until he realizes that the perfect bed for a bear was right in front of him all along. With simple text and evocative illustrations by debut author-illustrator Clive McFarland, this heartwarming picture book is a perfect part of any bedtime routine.

Along the lines of the classics, like Are You My Mother?, A Bed for Bear is a great read for sequencing and repetition reads. The bear keeps getting to go around looking for the best place to be, when originally his own bed was the best for him.

Thanks to HC for an ARC.
