About this book

The hour is late and Mr Bear is tired. But he just can't sleep - however hard he tries, all he can hear are the noises in the house. SNORE, SNORE goes Mrs Bear. TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK goes the clock. Will he ever be able to find peace at last?

Jill Murphy's classic picture book is perfect for bedtime. Children will enjoy the delightful illustrations, the rhythm and repetition and all the familiar sounds of the night-time house which are woven through this story - which may just help them to drop off to sleep themselves!
