"You may come in," says the hare, "but don’t wake up the bear!" As the night wears on, the nest of sleeping animals expands until a mouse with a cold curls up right in the bear’s ear―and wakes him up with a loud sneeze!Warm, playful illustrations and a repeating refrain make this bedtime book perfect for year-round reading.
