After only a couple read-throughs, my 3-year-old would "read" this one to his parents imitating the alternating voices we use for the duck and bear. It hasn't made bedtime any easier, but it sure is a lot of fun.

I enjoyed this funny story about a bear trying to sleep and being pestered by his wide awake neighbor, Duck. The ending is funny and I think parents will appreciate the humor throughout the story.

The middle page with Duck waking Bear up in bed...priceless.
Otherwise, a cute, quick read! I liked it a lot.

Bear is so tired that he feels like he could sleep for months, but his neighbor Duck is wide awake! Duck comes to Bear and asks him to play cards, make smoothies, and do lots of other activities, but Bear sends him away. Duck comes back asking for help making cookies. Again, Bear sends him away. Duck comes back one more time to get Bear to play with him, but Bear just wants to sleep. Bear’s crankiness makes Duck feel sleepy, but now Bear doesn’t feel like sleeping.
This book perfectly captures the relationship of a parent and child when the child won’t go to bed. Both parents and children will be able to identify with the characters and laugh at Duck’s antics to try to get Bear to play with him. Even though the story itself is simple, the characters are well-developed. Duck and Bear have distinct, fun personalities and readers get to know them even in this one interaction between them. Many readers will wish for more from Bear and Duck in other books after reading this funny nighttime story.

When a bear tries to hibernate, his annoying duck neighbor keeps waking him up with silly requests.

A back and forth of neighbours who are either too awake or too sleepy. This is a fun book with just the right amount of energy. Even though the main characters are grumpy with each other they react in expected ways for kids to relate to.

The story is fun but I give 5 stars because of the illustrations!
