"I've never been so tired. I could sleep for weeks. Months, even!"

Bear knows exactly how I feel at the end of the school year! Yet normally I am like Duck, a night-owl. These opposites clash when Bear wants to sleep and Duck tries to entice him to stay awake through various silly schemes. Color-coded panels and bold lettering bring this relatable tale to life.

The book also has a cute you read to me, I'll read to you structure. It would make a terrific readers' theater script for 3-5 voices.

Intended for 3-7 years old.

Delightful. Love the personalities of Bear and Duck. The font style tells who's talking, great connections to classrooms with this element.

This children's series is so fun to read aloud with kids. I love hearing their little giggles about Bear and Duck's adventures of being neighbors.

It's not a new story. Bear wants to sleep. A friend, in this case duck, is not tired and keeps disturbing Bear as he tries to go to sleep. It's cute though.
