GOODNIGHT BEARGoodnight Bear is a beautifully illustrated, rhyming storybook of little Bear. It tells the tale of Bear, who when she goes to bed at night, thinks she hears noises.

Who then comforts her and put her back into bed where she drifts off into dreamland. This story provides a wonderful opportunity to explore any possible fear or worries your children might have around night time and to discuss with them what might help alleviate those fears e.g. a nightlight or a Teddy to cuddle.
