A Beautiful BookDec 10, 2009
Kevin Henkes' illustrations alone are worth the purchase of the book. The story is simple but sweet. I love reading this book to my son and he enjoys it, too. I've even thought of buying a second copy so I can cut out and frame some of my favorite pages!

This lovely, snuggly book would be a perfect read on a cold winter's night!Jul 05, 2009
The brown old bear was snuggled up by the time the snow began to swirl outside his den. The last of the oak and maple leaves began to fall with the first flakes. He started to dream of spring when the lupines, daffodils and tulips sprang from the earth and began to bloom. The butterflies were flitting around and he dreamed that "he was a cub again." Everything was so oversized that he was able to curl up in a crocus. Next he "dreamed that it was summer" and the "sun was a daisy and the leaves were butterflies." His smiley face looked up to the clouds that were sprinkling blueberries. What a dream!
Autumn soon arrived in his dream. The colors of autumn surrounded him and "even the birds and the fish and the water" had those tints. Next he dreamed of winter where everything around him "was covered in ice." The sky was dotted with "stars of all colors." He was still fast asleep, snuggled in his den and protected from the elements. He turned this way and that and that way and this. Yawn! The old bear was waking up. What would he see when he came out of his den?
This is one of those lovely, snuggly books that are wonderful to read on a cold winter's night when everyone is anxious for spring to arrive. The storyline and text mesh perfectly and await little hands that will eagerly turn the pages for you when you read. This book and a stuffed brown bear to snuggle up with would be a perfect gift!

 Memories of childhoodJun 04, 2009
Old Bear sleeps through the winter and dreams of his cubling days. The highly imaginative illustration are just what one would expect of dream images, a daisy for the sun or rainbow colored stars in winter-scape sky.
Old Bear wakes from his dreams and peeks outside to see if it's still snowing and finds winter has left and Spring is in full bloom.
A feel good story for any bedtime ritual.

Old BearJan 23, 2009
I loved the beautiful illustrations, and since my grandson is about ready to read, but not quite there yet, this is a good book for him to not only enjoy, but to recognize words within each page.

Father BearJan 16, 2009
Snug and warm, Old Bear sleeps for winter. Dreaming of spring and being a cub again, he travels through a daisy sun summer and yellow and orange autumn to an ice covered winter. Old Bear sleeps and dreams only to melt away the winter into spring. He wakes up to a beautiful spring day, as if no time has passed. This father bear story will be loved by 2-5-year-old children the whole year long.
