About this deal

The bit about them going out of the cave into the big dark unknown and the little bear being scared resonated with us as we were terrified about taking our baby out into the unknown.

Little Bear still tosses and turns so Big Bear has to stop reading his book again to get him some more light. This story depicts patience and kindness on the part of big bear, where he goes to great lengths to help little bear realise that the dark is nothing to be afraid of.

However, even if you havent had a horrendous and dramatic birth experience it’s still a very sweet and funny book and I highly recommend it as a bedtime story. It is illustated in a very complimentary way, with beatiful pictures, again, great for engaging a child. The final episode, in which Little Bear has fallen asleep in Big Bear's arms, and Big Bear (finally!

It’s a repetitive story so it would be ideal to read out to very young children and encourage them to join in with you. It's a great book as a story telling excercise at Early Years, yet is also great for those in the later stages of Key Stage One learning to read, with alot of word asnd phrase repetition for those less confident.

From the opening line common to all the "Little Bear" stories, through Little Bear's fear of the dark and Big Bear's reassurance and care, to the final moments where Big Bear says he's brought Little Bear "the bright yellow moon, and all the stars" to light the darkness. I found it a book that was good to relax the children and one to read them when they are not feeling very brave themselves. The children will easily be able to understand the plot of the story and will look forward to finding out Big Bear's solution to curing the darkness so that Little Bear can finally go to sleep in one peace! I also used this book to introduce the children to questions and how we know what they are and when someone is asking a question.

It has such emotional importance to me as my third daughter had breathing difficulties when she was born and spent the first 5 weeks of her life in NICU. in un inglese comprensibile anche perni bimbi piccoli,con frasi brevi e che si ripetono, il che non solo piace ai bimbi, ma aiuta anche a fissare le espressioni. The DVD is short but beautiful, using the original pictures from the book with a little animation, soothing narration and gentle backing music to tell the story. Le pagine sono belle e resistenti, anche quelle popup, che in alcuni altri libri invece sembrano essere fragili.The illustrations are cute, but otherwise, way too repetitive to not be boring, both my 5 yr old and preschoolers had a hard time staying engaged in this story. Even if he's seen the DVD that night, though, there's nothing like a bedtime story from mum - and this book has fast become one of his very favourites.

In ogni caso io l'ho preso semplicemente perchè il piccolo orso ha lo stesso problema di mia figlia.

The children loved this story and so did I, it is about a little bear who cannot go to sleep because he is afraid of the dark. The pages at the beginning are lightly coloured like a lamp to symbolise the safety of the bear’s home, I would discuss this with children and why the pages get darker as the bears go outside.After reading the story this way it has really highlighted that sensory stories are a real innovative way of allowing children who are at the very early stages of reading to explore literacy and it’s an approach that I will definitely use again especially if working in an early years setting as well as in a special needs school. I recently bought this for a friend who is expecting, I hadn't noticed it was a 'pop up' version, so was pleasantly surprised. It reminds me of big bear, being persistent, creative and patient with little bear are important attributes for parents. Looking for more dad books, as I believe this will be the first Father's Day theme I've done in storytime.
