Customer Reviews

Excellent book!

We read this book so much to my son that he would make the sounds of each of the animals. It was a favorite in our house.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO WAKE A BEAR ?

.Our friend the bear has been asleep all winter. The time for hibernation is over.One by one bear's friends come by his cave and try to wake him up.You'd think a lions roar would do the job. What about an acorn dropped on bear's nose by squirrel? Snore, snore, snore. Bear sleeps on.We have parrots, monkey and even a cat (who looks remarkably like Scarface Claw from the Hairy Mac books) come by the cave and try their best to wake bear. But nothing seems to work. Eventually 10 different animals have tried to wake bear, with their own tricks, but none succeed. Just then, there is a buzzing sound and we all know what makes buzzing sounds don't we. Z z z z z z A bear gets very hungry after sleeping all winter and what do bears love to eat most of all?This book is delightfully illustrated with the pictures and the story cleverly melding. This is one of Lynley Dodd's best books outside of the Hairy Maclary series.
