Bear's nap

About this book

Bear wants nothing more than a quiet snooze in a cosy cave, but an annoying “cheep cheep” keeps interrupting. What follows is a funny night-time adventure as Bear stomps out to find out from the other animals who is making the noise. The escalating annoyance is pitched perfectly for young ones: dramatic enough to be exciting to follow on and always warmly observed. 

The book’s standout feature is how interactive it feels. Each animal’s sound invites children to join in, turning storytime into a playful call-and-response. Gravett’s beautiful artwork is packed with detail, giving extra jokes and small visual clues to spot on repeat reads, which makes Emily Gravett a master to visual storytelling.

Ideal for settling down at night, the story balances calm, humour, and participation in a way that makes it easy to return to again and again.
