Review Quotes: Brief Description: An amusing series of interruptions, from DJs with lasers to jazz flute solos, thwarts a bear's journey to hibernation.

Review Quotes: "[A] humorously told, wonderfully illustrated tale that reminds readers of all ages it's okay to balance doing what needs to be done with having lots of fun."-- BookPage, starred review Review Quotes: "Children will love the surprise ending and the expressive characters in this silly hibernation story."-- School Library Journal Review Quotes: "On the eve of hibernation season, a well-meaning, if overbearing, owl attempts to coax Bear to sleep with a bedtime story. As with many a meta picture book, the action veers off from the expected: while Owl reads the calming words ('He yawned a big bear yawn. And opened his very quiet den'), the art shows what's really going on: a band rocking out in Bear's living room. Cartoon illustrations (done in 'blood, sweat, tears, and Photoshop') shift between peaceful wintry scenes and the rollicking inside of Bear's domicile, complete with disco ball and party hats."-- Horn Book Publisher Marketing: The classic "bear hibernation" story is turned on its head in this hilarious read-aloud full of surprises, perfect for a cozy winter read and story time year-round! This is was supposed to be a sleepy bear book--a gentle, quiet story. Until Bear opened his cozy, quiet den, only to find--A DJ and a disco ball? Guitar riffs and a booming bass? A random jazz flute? Stop all these shenanigans! THIS ISN'T WHAT HAPPENS IN A SLEEPY BEAR BOOK! Things only get noisier and more chaotic with every turn of the page. Winking at storytime conventions in a way that'll crack kids up, This Is Not a Sleepy Bear Book combines classic bedtime story tropes with visual, giggle-worthy surprises that offer a memorable twist and a great read-aloud.
