A bear’s springtime wake-up call

As spring brings the animal world back to life, Bear remains asleep after hibernation. His animal friends set out to wake him, with one question hanging over their efforts: what mood will greet them when he finally opens his eyes? The setup turns a familiar seasonal change into a playful encounter between an energetic group and a still-sleeping bear. David Ezra Stein’s picture book centers on friendship, waking up, and the arrival of spring.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ages 4–8, as indicated in the book metadata.
  • Children who enjoy animal characters and springtime stories.
  • Families or groups looking for a picture book to read aloud together.

Book overview

A hilarious new read aloud from Caldecott Honor-winning author/illustrator David Ezra Stein, about a grumpy bear whose animal friends are determined to wake him up after a long hibernation. Pairs perfectly with Grumpy Monkey and Ryan T. Higgins's Bruce books.

Spring is here. The world is awake and abuzz, but one animal is still sleeping. Bear! When will he finally wake up from his slumber--and what sort of mood will he be in?

Caldecott Honor artist David Ezra Stein dares to poke the bear with hilarious results and reveals that spring is indeed the best season to be out and about.
