Books like Bear Can't Sleep
By Karma Wilson
For the kid who fights sleep every single night, this is a book about a bear who simply cannot settle down either — and needs his whole community to help him get there. Cozy, snowy, gentle, and full of rhyme
As night falls and the woods grow cold, a big bear loses his way on a crooked trail — so his friends take to the sky and ground until they find him and bring him safely home.
A great brown bear sleeps through winter while mouse, hare, badger, raven, and mole sneak into his cave one by one, brewing tea and popping corn without waking him — until he finally stirs.
A little fur child spends a day exploring the wild woods near home, meeting other creatures and visiting his grandfather, before heading back for supper and a bedtime song.
A wide-awake little boy travels from cave to sea to mountain peak, visiting one sleeping animal friend after another, hoping to find the perfect way to finally rest.
Two dog best friends, one big and one little, do everything differently — different beds, different chairs, different everything — until a bedtime mix-up puts their opposite ways to the test.
A visitor-hating bear puts up a no-visitors sign and orders a mouse out of his house, but the mouse keeps turning up in the most unexpected places anyway.
On a rainy afternoon, a snoozing granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing cat, and a slumbering mouse pile onto one cozy bed — until a wakeful flea bites, and the whole sleepy stack comes tumbling down.
A small boy and a big friendly bear head off on a berry-picking adventure, paddling canoes and crossing bridges through Berryland in search of blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries for jam.
A little white whale swims wild and free through a busy day at sea, with the moon and stars watching over her until a warm bedtime with her mother.
A young badger tucked in for the night keeps finding reasons to get out of bed — a glass of milk, a favorite doll, worries about tigers and cracks in the ceiling — testing her patient parents one request at a time.
A baby llama, tucked into bed by his mama, starts to worry the moment she heads downstairs — his whimpers building into full-blown hollers until she returns just in time.
