PICTURE BOOK Content: G.  Big Brown bear and his four little bear friends are ready for bed.  Some bears go quietly to bed , some twirl into bed, others wrestle and play. When all are safely tucked in, “Whoosh goes a sound in the middle of the night.” All bears are scared and out of bed.  Big Brown bear comes to the rescue and helps the four little bears back to soundless sleep.  This is a good story for little ones afraid of going to bed at night.  I didn’t love the rhyming.  At times it was difficult to read.  The illustrations are adorable.  Pre-K.  EL (K-3).  OPTIONAL.  Reviewer: SL.
