About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Elisha Cooper is the award-winning author of Farm, Beach, Magic Thinks Big, and Dance!, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, as well as other acclaimed titles. His books for adults include the memoir Crawling: A Father's First Year.
Elisha Cooper lives with his family in New York City. He has loved some great dogs in his life.
PreSchool-Grade 1–Bear, a cub, cannot sleep. He watches his wakeful woodland friends from the mouth of his cold, dark cave and feels that life has treated him very unfairly. Why do they have fun while he has to hibernate? He gathers the other animals together and tells them that he wants to do all the things that they do, including flying across the lake with the geese. His friends suggest that his plan sounds exhausting, and they leave him alone as he cries out, More! I want to play more! Bear falls asleep as the first snow begins to descend, and his parents carry him back to the warm cave, where he will sleep until spring. Cooper captures the indignation of a youngster who does not want to go to bed, especially when friends are allowed to stay up later. The watercolor-and-pencil illustrations softly portray the transition from fall to winter as well as from wakefulness to slumber. A striking spread, reminiscent of a constellation chart, transports the animals from the solid earth to a snowy nighttime sky, where Bear sleeps, surrounded by his friends. This quiet book with its dreamlike quality is ideal for bedtime sharing.–Shawn Brommer, South Central Library System, Madison, WI
