A hibernating bear is asleep in his cozy den when some unexpected animals stop by for warmth. They make a fire, pop white popcorn, and eat some crunchy nuts, all while the bear is sound asleep. It's not until some black pepper seasoning, makes the bear sneeze and wake up! He is startled by his unexpected guests, but in the end joins in on the party. This book offers rhyme and lots of different animal voices to invent while reading to children. Repetition is used with the phrase, "but the bear snores on." The warm colored illustrations take up the whole page and really make you feel like your at the party, because of this I would rate this book a 5 out of 5!
