About This Book:
Open the doors in this sweet and simple bedtime story to see which of Bear’s friends can’t sleep!
Knock! Knock!
Who’s that?
Let’s open the door and see. . . .
Bear is getting ready for bed. He’s had a snack, brushed his teeth, and put on his big bear pajamas when-Knock! Knock!-someone is at the door. It’s Mouse! She can’t sleep because she’s hungry. Then Crocodile arrives and her toothbrush is broken, and, uh-oh, Lion’s pajamas are too small, and wide-awake Owl isn’t sleepy at all! Can Bear help his friends so they can all get a good night’s sleep?

Have a snack, brush your teeth, go to bed!
The artwork is very bright, and the animals are composed of simple shapes, somewhat reminiscent of Frank Asch’s artwork. The text is predictable, and it’s fun for young readers to lift the flap and see who is on the other side of the door. I liked the parallels of the animals asking for help with the same sort of tasks that Bear has just completed, and the Owl showing up to serenade everyone is a nice surprise.
I can see this becoming a favorite bedtime story for little ones, and the doors are sturdy enough to hold up to repeated readings.
