Ten Minutes to Bed: Little Bear

Summary

Little Bear, Barney, likes everything to be just right. He always has to have the best chair, the best bed and the best porridge. So one night, when Barney cant sleep, he goes out in search of the very best bed in the forest.

But Fox's underground bed is too dark . . .
Hedgehog's log-pile bed is too rough . . .
and Mouse's grassy nest is too small!

And with night falling, will Barney the bear be able to find his way home – back to the bed that's just right for him?

Weaving a journey from lively beginning to gentle end, a ten-minute countdown to bed is at the heart of this magical rhyming picture book. Packed with best-loved fairytale and forest characters, this brand-new Ten Minutes to Bed story is the perfect book to help little ones settle down to sleep.
