We love it!
My 2 year old has loved this book from the first moment we read it! He loves the anticipation of finding out what the monster is outside and gets so excited every time to get to the part where we find out it's only a big moose! I love the repetition throughout the book.

Not for a sensitive child, great illustrations
This book is cute and I love the illustrations, but the story did not go over too well with my daughter who is just beginning to discover what it is to be afraid of things.I was hoping it would be a story that would ease her away from being afraid of things at night or in storms but it had a bit of an opposite effect, though not to a large degree.

In this book, each little bear comes into Mama bear and Daddy bear's room because some part of the storm scares them.The parents reassure them and let them curl up in bed with them.The bad thing is that the Daddy gets scared and the animal that scares him is a pretty large one.My daughter looked at it as the size of the animal was scary and the fact that it scared a bear was scary.I wish I had seen this book in a bookstore before purchasing it online or I might not have gotten it.I purchased it because the illustrations are by the same person who does the Bear series by Karma Wilson Bear Snores On and we enjoy those books immensely.It is a cute book, but the story would probably be better for an older child or one that isn't in the stage where they are sensitive to "scary" things around them.

Are yo-o-u--u--u-u a Scaredy-Bear?
There's nothing like family in time of storms, the dark, whatever comes along. It's good to have a father who can show bravery and fear. It's good to have a sensible mother. It's good to have a stuffed bunny to sleep with.

The reader gets all of these and more in "The Bears in the Bed and the Great BIG Storm," written by Paul Bright and illustrated by Jane Chapman. It's not a five-star book, but a good, solid four stars, especially for little ones with stormy-night issues.

Not only that, but the details in the illustrations change according to which angle the scene is shown. Things are added, removed, changed around. I didn't notice that until this review. Children see these things that adults skim over, thinking oh well, this is just a simple children's book. One thing never to take for granted is the cleverness of illustrators.

The story is the usual (but how comforting!): The storm is scary, so go sleep with Mom and Dad in the security of their care. Dad takes them in, one by one, assuring each in turn that there are no monsters. Then a Rat-a Tat-Tat comes at their door and he is fearful of monsters. Why, it's just Mr. Moose with his great big antlers shadowing against the lightning. His house has blown away and he, too, seeks safety from the storm.

There are so many wonderful lessons about safety and security and generosity of spirit and home in this slightly over-sized book! This is a book that will bear reading over and over again (catch my pun?). ... Read more

Product Description
This volume is part of a series which introduces young readers to different animals, their behaviour and lifestyles. Each of the featured animals is in danger and the series explains the concept of endangerment, extinction and animal protection at a very simple level. Each book in the series provides a general introduction to animals in danger, before focusing on the specific animal featured in the book. The books follow an animal through its daily life, looking at its appearance, behaviour, habitat, special characteristics and so on. Each then explains why the animal is in danger, what the danger is and what measures are being taken to restrict or prevent the danger. Care is taken to explain the difference between danger from humans and from the environment, as well as the "natural" danger that animals face in the wild. ... Read more
