Bedtime Bear

by Patricia Hegarty

Join the young animals in the forest as they snuggle up with their parents to sleep in this gentle rhyme. Features touch-and-feel elements throughout. 

Children can join the young animals in the forest as the day ends and everyone settles down for bed in this gentle rhyme. A bear curls up before falling asleep; a bunny snuggles with her parent as she closes her eyes; a chick chirps and settles into his nest; and a fox wraps her fluffy tail around her. Soon, the forest is quiet, and all animals are asleep. Features touch-and-feel elements throughout.

Very soft and sweet. I love the illustrations. They aren't bright and colorful like children probably enjoy, but are perfect for bedtime. A simple rhyme book about going to sleep. It makes me smile.

This was precious. Kinda cheating to catch up on my Goodreads goal 🤣, but it was adorable.

Soft both in the textures and the images, while still looking like real animals.

An adorable touch-and-feel book with 5 bedtime pages themes to help put bear, bunny, birdy, fox and the forest animals to sleep.

Chose to give this book 5 stars because I love it. Only downside is the entire book does not fit into my mouth, but I tried.

Ok book

[Spencer & Theo Pilot · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always love a book we can touch. Great textures for a toddler. We said “goodnight” to each animal.

This book is much more enjoyable now that Victoria is older and we started a routine of reading a book before bed. She loves petting the pages.
