Bear Snores On Review
See what happens when he finally wakes up and finds his cave full of uninvited guests -- all of them having a party without him! User Submitted Bear Snores On ReviewsOctober 19, 2008 Loveable characters and rhythmic language make for a great children's book In this charming tale sure to become a favorite among young readers, Bear will sleep through anything, even through the boisterous party going on in his very own lair. The opening scene of Bear Snores On (Simon and Schuster Children's, 2003), written by Karma Wilson and illustrated by Jane Chapman, shows bear deep in slumber, tucked away from the wintry weather outside his cave. When a mouse, seeking shelter, enters Bear's cave, Bear snores on. What then follows is a gradual gathering of animals in Bear's cozy cave, sharing honey-nuts, munching on popcorn, and sipping black tea. All the while, Bear snores on. When the tiniest bit of pepper sends Bear into a sneezing fit, however, the animals' party comes to an abrupt halt, and Bear, while at first appearing quite menacing, is overcome with sadness when he learns that the animals didn't include him in their lively activities. In an attempt to console the bear, the mouse tells him that the party has just started. Chapman's captivating illustrations, which distinguish the coziness enjoyed by the lively animal characters from the blustery outdoors, and Wilson's catchy chorus enhance the story's heartwarming plot as well as punctuate the ironic humor of final scene in which Bear stays up, but his animal friends fall fast asleep. October 1, 2008 Destined to be a Classic What a heartwarming story with such vivid and friendly illustrations. The rhythm is wonderful and the rhymes aren't forced. The story flows and gives the reader ample opportunity to try out different voices for all of bear's friends.

August 27, 2008 Wonderful story with rhythm and rhyme This is a wonderful book with great rhythm and rhyme. My 3 month old already smiles when I start reading it, and I know as he gets older it will be one of his favorites, as he doesn't react this way to any other book. I also think it is a great story... VERY cute pictures! August 3, 2008 Charming, fun book! My daughter loves this book (22 months old) and my husband and I enjoy the sing-song rhyme as well. It has a nice rhythm for reading aloud. We don't mind reading it over and over! The illustrations are great also. June 24, 2008 11 month old loves this book (available in board book format) My 11 month old son loves this book and has since he was little.
