It’s winter and little bear doesn’t want to go to sleep. He’d rather play, and he’s sure he won’t get cold outside, no matter how long the winter is, how deep the snow might get, or how hard the storm might blow. Until, that is, little bear finds himself all alone in a snowstorm. Claudia Rueda’s classic picture-book illustrations, with their simple, strong lines, shapes, a...more

I loved the graphics of this book. The cover caught my eye, it sort of stood out at the library, and the story is fine. My son is of age to know that what baby bear says and does may not be right, that mommy probably knows best, so the thread is mostly predictable but sweet nonetheless. But, the pictures are very cool in their simpleness. I especially liked a couple of pictures where the angle was from above, showing perspective with only a silhouette. A very nice touch!

I bear doesn't want to hibernate for winter. He leaves his mother, running off to play, until he realizes he's alone and comes running home again.
This book is okay, it's straightforward (although the story line is a little boring). The illustrations are done on the computer and therefore very graphic. The boldness of the illustrations make it a good choice for story time. It would work well for toddler story time, one-on-one or an individual quiet read too.
Ages: 0-5

A sweet story about a stubborn little cub who does not want to go to sleep, and has an answer for each of Mother Bear's arguments...until he gets scared in the middle of a blinding snowstorm and makes his way back to the safety of his mother and his warm cave. My storytime audience could identify with Baby Bear's not wanting to go to bed...and laughed as he says when returning to the cave, " Mamma, I'm back. Winter is very long and you might get lonely."
Winter is coming, but Little Bear doesn't want to hibernate. He tells his mother so with a resounding "No!" For every objection, he has a ready answer. Even when he gives in to winter and hibernation, he makes it his idea, not his mother's.
What I thought: What a cute book! Little Bear could give some kids competition. Have you ever met a kid like him? Well, I have. Rueda has captured children's attitudes exactly. This will be a fun book to share in story time. I'll ask the kids what they would s...more

I-don't-wanna-go-to-sleep is the cry of children everywhere, even little bears apparently, and Rueda captures this well. The artwork is lovely, using muted blues and browns with white to capture the beginning of winter forest. I am thinking about using this for a "winter is coming" story time and when the preschool teachers want winter is coming/hibernation books this is a book I'll be likely to hand them.
I often read aloud picture books to kindergarten that have two characters and simple dialogue. Elephant and Piggie works very well. I am one character. A student is the other. There's nothing better than a six-year-old "becoming" Piggie or Elephant. I'm going to try it out with NO. I'll let you know how it goes.
Clear digital illustrations stand out against snowy white background. Young children asserting independence from a parent will see themselves in little bear, who doesn't want to go to sleep for winter.
Mama Bear tries to coax Little Bear into the cave to sleep for the winter, but Little Bear wants to stay out and play in the snow until a storm blows in and he can't see anything, not even Mama Bear.
Rueda replays the timeless conflict of a toddler's insistance on asserting their independence with a fabulous PB "pay-off" on the last pages. Beautiful graphic illustrations.
little bear doesn't. want to sleep for the winter. He has an answer for all his mother's reasons--for awhile at least. This book is cute for a winter storytime.
Aww, such a cute little bear story that syncs right up with those stubborn little ones who are developing their voice.
The first time I read it I thought 3 stars, but after hearing my 4 year old read it aloud to me I had to give it another star. Beautiful book when read aloud by a young reader.
Instead of hibernating, a young bear cub stays up to play in the snow. Simple and sweet.
I'm blinded by the cuteness of this book both in illustration and narrative.
I liked the sparse pictures but the story left me wanting more.
perfect for winter coming storytime
Mother always knows best. Delightful!
bear in winter
3.5
Mama bear tries to get her cub to hibernate but he has to figure it out on his own.
Illustrator/author Claudia Rueda does an amazing job with simple text and bold graphic illustrations. Never get tired of this book.
