It’s such a lovely story and the way that my children understand it is to actual experience the key features of the book for themselves.

I recently bought this for a friend who is expecting, I hadn't noticed it was a 'pop up' version, so was pleasantly surprised. This timeless and well-loved story is exquisitely brought to life in a special Mini Pop-Up Classic edition, making it the perfect gift and a book to treasure, time and time again.

From the opening line common to all the "Little Bear" stories, through Little Bear's fear of the dark and Big Bear's reassurance and care, to the final moments where Big Bear says he's brought Little Bear "the bright yellow moon, and all the stars" to light the darkness.A cute idea, but falls short, since it's way too wordy for the younger crowd, even though the concept is geared toward them. The book also contains a lot of inverted commas so it could be used as an example for teaching those in grammar. It’s a repetitive story so it would be ideal to read out to very young children and encourage them to join in with you.

I really enjoyed this gentle tale (that is not without humor) about Little Bear who can't get to sleep because of his fear of the dark, and patient and resourceful Big Bear who helps him through his fears (even though Big Bear has a very exciting part of his book to read and keeps getting interrupted! I found it a book that was good to relax the children and one to read them when they are not feeling very brave themselves. in un inglese comprensibile anche perni bimbi piccoli,con frasi brevi e che si ripetono, il che non solo piace ai bimbi, ma aiuta anche a fissare le espressioni. Little Bear still tosses and turns so Big Bear has to stop reading his book again to get him some more light.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This book does wonders for dispelling the fear of the dark as well as for encouraging the patience of parents everywhere.

After reading the story this way it has really highlighted that sensory stories are a real innovative way of allowing children who are at the very early stages of reading to explore literacy and it’s an approach that I will definitely use again especially if working in an early years setting as well as in a special needs school. It's a good story that used a lot of repetition throughout with 'Little Bear', 'Big Bear', conversation about the darkness and sleeping. So maybe this picturebook does not just help children overcome their fear of the dark but help parents be patient with their children. The words may seem repetitive, but it's just the perfect rhythm to draw a little one into a sweet slumber.

This kid's book is so sweet because it deals with a fear most (if not all) of us have known before: the fear of the dark. The book also made the children laugh and they identified the repetition which they enjoyed joining in with.

The little bear can’t fall asleep because he is afraid of the dark, and always seems to find some small area of darkness regardless of how many lanterns big bear brings for him. The reader becomes curious as to where the story is going which at the same time makes it an intriguing read. It's a great book as a story telling excercise at Early Years, yet is also great for those in the later stages of Key Stage One learning to read, with alot of word asnd phrase repetition for those less confident. It was relatable to us on so many levels; a little baby bear being afraid of the dark/the unknown and the big bear trying to help by shedding some light on the situation. to bring him progressively larger lanterns, nothing seems to help him overcome his fear of the dark that is "all around.

Big Bear sees Little Bear in distress so he stops reading his book and gives Little Bear a small lantern to sleep with, however, it seems this isn't enough for Little Bear. It showed the children that everyone has these feelings and if they try very hard they can overcome them and feel proud of themselves for doing so.
