About the Author:

Catherine Walters lives in Halifax with her husband and three children. She has written and illustrated a number of books for Little Tiger Press and is best known for her creation of Alfie Bear.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2-Alfie Bear is back, and he's not any more excited about going to sleep than he was in When Will It Be Spring? (Dutton, 1998). It's a beautiful summer evening and Mother Bear's patience is beginning to wear thin as the cub tries to avoid the inevitable by pretending to be a fish and then an owl. Only when Alfie howls like a wolf and suddenly finds himself the subject of a real wolf family's curiosity is he ready for Father Bear's rescue and some shut-eye. The sweet story is set off nicely by the lush, realistic single- and double-page artwork. Young observers will appreciate the detailed illustrations and will enjoy finding the tiny chipmunk that appears on almost every page. While this is not an essential purchase, Alfie's fans will be excited to see this cuddly little bear in a new bedtime story.
