Synopsis
It’s winter and little bear doesn’t want to go to sleep. He’d rather play, and he’s sure he won’t get cold outside, no matter how long the winter is, how deep the snow might get, or how hard the storm might blow. Until, that is, little bear finds himself all alone in a snowstorm. Claudia Rueda’s classic picture-book illustrations, with their simple, strong lines, shapes, and colors, show a very determined little bear and his mother in a striking, increasingly snowy landscape. Children everywhere identify with little bear as mama figures out how to tell him no.

From Booklist
*Starred Review* There are many books about children (in the guise of animal surrogates) looking for ways to avoid going to bed. This is a particularly lovely one, because of the thoughtfully styled artwork, which was computer generated but resembles cut paper. The little bear doesn’t want to go to sleep, and, of course, in his case, it’s a long one. He follows his mother through the woods as snow begins to fall lightly, and he has an answer for every point she tries to make. There’s no food? He’s saved berries. The wind will blow hard? He’s very strong. By now, the snow is falling heavily, covering the ground in drifts. “The snow will be deep.” “I love the snow.” So the little bear happily wanders away; then, in several wordless spreads, he builds a snowman, but soon the rising wind and snow blow it away. Uh-oh. With simple shapes and just a few colors—gray for the bears, amber for the trees, blue for the sky, and, of course, white, white, white for the snow—Rueda creates a soft world that is so quiet the short text seems almost an intrusion. Getting right to the heart of a child’s inner life, this is a little gem. Preschool. --Ilene Cooper
