Rating: Summary: Not a fan Review: My 3 year old NEVER had any problems sleeping until we read this book. Now she's suddenly "scared of the dark like little bear". Don't buy this book.
Rating: Summary: Another Gem from Martin Waddell Review: My 6 year old son brought this book home from the school library today and we've already read it three times and I just added it to his wishlist. He really loves it and I enjoy reading it with him. Little Bear and my son share the same fear - the DARK. It showed him that he is not alone in his fear and that when we feel safe and secure with those we love and who love us fears can melt away. I'm sure we'll be reading it all week. Enjoy it - I know you will!
Rating: Summary: Fun bedtime book Review: My daughter laughs at Little Bear as he tries all the different sleeping positions. The illustrations are colorful and interesting. As in all of Martin Waddell's books, the text is not too long, nor too short. It is a perfect feel good bedtime book.
Rating: Summary: Excellent reading for newborns to toddlers and beyond! Review: My daughter loved this book from the first day I read it when she was 1 1/2 years old. She can never get enough of it! She is now 3 1/2 and always picks this book as her bedtime story at least once a week. I think she can relate to Little Bear being scared of the dark and how Big Bear tries and tries to make Little Bear feel safe. I highly recommend this book to parents of all kids!
Rating: Summary: Can't you sleep little bear? Review: My four year old son Joseph has had this book for two years now. We borrowed it from the library but he wouldn't part with it so we bought him his own copy. His bedroom is full of books but this one and the sequel 'Let's go home little bear' are the books he always gets out for me to read to him at bedtime, over and over again.
Rating: Summary: Can't You Sleep, Little Bear Review: No matter how many books are on the shelf, our 2 year old always goes to this book. She wants to see the page where the Big Bear takes Little Bear outside. She says "want to see the dark Gramma". She likes to pat the Little Bear and likes how he plays on the bed. I will be getting her the others in this series for Christmas. I'll have a hard time not giving them to her now!

Rating: Summary: The dark all around us Review: Of all the Little Bear/Big Bear books I've read, this is my favourite. The author and illustrator have created the perfect reflection of bedtime... everything is warm and cozy and loving. The actions of Big Bear and Little Bear are typical of parent and child at bedtime. The illustrations are wonderfully done, with the 'outside' illustrations being wide and open and the 'inside' illustrations being enclosed by an arched border... adding to the feeling of safety and security of the Bear Cave. Little Bear's antics in the background and the pillows on the floor are all too familiar. Delightful!At two years of age, my son is still parented to sleep and thus, he has no fear of the dark. So, when we read it to him, we mainly look at the pictures and talk about Little Bear and Big Bear and going to bed. However, as he grows and is ready to go to sleep on his own at night, I'm glad we'll have this story to share with him... it provides a wonderful starting point for talking about the dark and demonstrating loving parental support for real(or imagined) fears.
Rating: Summary: I've Read Better!!! Review: This book "Can't You Sleep Little Bear?" is not a book that I would suggest to anybody. The story doesn't make that much sense. It talks about how big bear keeps bringing brighter lanterns in, but little bear is still playing games in teh background. The plot isn't that great, and doesn't make that much sense. Then to make things a lot more difficult, they go outside and look at the moon. Why would somebody do that when they are looking for a brighter light source. A large lantern is much brighter then a full moon. I guess he just must of wanted to show little bear the moon, since little bear hadn't seen it before. I have read better books before, but I guess, I have also read some that were worse.
