The acclaimed husband-and-wife team set the tone for golden slumbers.
It's way past his bedtime, but Baby Bear is wide awake. Nobody, it seems, can come up with the right lullaby to soothe him. Not Granny Bear. Not Grandpa Bear. Not even Mama Bear. Luckily, Papa Bear instinctively knows just what "song" will do - and he takes Baby Bear on a moonlit river adventure, where a symphony of nocturnal noises soon sends his little cub floating off to sleep. With rhythmic text and luminous artwork, this book is a charming lullaby in its own right as it demonstrates with aplomb that sometimes fathers really do know best.
Perfect for new fathers.

Kate and Jim McMullan have collaborated on several previous picture books, including two New York Times Outstanding Books of the Year. The McMullans live in New York City.
PreSchool-Granny, Grandpa, and Mama Bear take turns trying to lull Baby Bear into slumber. Their songs are soothing but, though the exhausted adults begin to feel sleepy, "Baby Bear doesn't" and continues to appear wide-eyed and alert. Finally, Papa takes him for a ride in the boat. He knows that "the right song," created by the river's gentle night sounds, will calm his son and rock him to sleep. And, indeed, nature's lullaby does the trick. The affectionate extended family, with the child at its center, is depicted in softly shaded, unframed watercolors. The starlit night sky, murmuring river, and cozy interior of the home, glowing with lamp light, reveal the loving, secure atmosphere of Baby Bear's world. A bedtime story almost guaranteed to provide sweet dreams.
