Bear Snores On (Storytown)
Available To Downloads

A bear hibernates during the winter. He sleeps while all the other animals watch. But when he wakes up, he is hungry!On a cold winter night many animals gather to party in the cave of a sleeping bear, who then awakes and protests that he has missed the food and the fun. It seems like Bear can sleep through anything. As a succession of animals enter his cave to escape the fierce storm, he continues to snore. Mouse makes a nice warm fire, Hare cooks popcorn and Badger brings treats... They are having a great time. But when Bear wakes up and realises he's missed out on the fun, his visitors fear the worst. Can Bear be persuaded to join the party? This read-aloud rhyming story has fun, suspense and a happy ending - with Jane Chapman's beautiful, captivating illustrations and Karma Wilson's absorbing, lyrical words perfectly depicting the companionship of the warm, cosy cave and the contrast with the wild storm outside.

My two boys (2 & 4 years old) and my husband and I have loved reading this story since they were born.We did buy a paperback version from the company and it arrived damaged. They worked with us and we were completely happy with the results.

This is absolutely one of our favorites. Our kids love to shout out the "bear snores on" while reading. Must have for little ones!

This has easily become one of my daughters favorite bedtime stories. It's a good length, not too long, not too short and it has a nice rhythm to it.

Great book! My kids loved it! I read it to my speech therapy students and purchased a tpt packet of activities. Great sessions!

Nice story and truly beautiful illustrations. This is one I keep extras of for gifts; everyone loves a sleepy bear.
