This book contains colorful illustrations that bring the seasons to life. The child in the story is going to bed and his mother is reading him a bedtime story about the bear sleeping. The story explains what happens as a bear is sleeping and just as the bear wakes up from his long winter's nap the boy falls asleep. The text has a rhythmic cadence that makes this an easy read. It also is a very calming book, great for bedtime or naptime. Ehhhh...this one didn't really work for me, though I could see it being a nice, calming book to read aloud to your child before bedtime or something. That's basically what happens in the book--a mom reads a book about bears to her kid while we look on. It's kind of an odd concept, but actually sort of works. I wish the art were stronger though--it's nice, but certainly doesn't stand out. Some kids and parents might really enjoy this one, especially if they're in the mood for something restful. It doesn't really appeal to me though.
I thought the book was very sweet, I liked it. C thought it was just OK.

This is the picture book version of inception. A book within a book.
