Description: As a wild storm rages outside, Baby Bear, Little Bear, and Young Bear each become frightened and crawl into bed with Bear and Mrs. Bear. Despite Bear’s reassurances that there are no monsters and that his cubs are “scaredy-bears,” he soon finds himself wide awake, nervous about the strange noises and shadows. When a mysterious knock at the door startles them all, even Bear’s bravery is tested. The surprise visitor turns out to be a moose seeking shelter, not a monster. The story is a warm, funny, and reassuring read about facing fears, the comfort of family, and the fact that everyone—even grown-ups—can feel scared sometimes. The lively, rhythmic text and cozy illustrations make this a perfect bedtime book for children who might be afraid of storms or the dark
