Can't You Sleep, Little Bear? - Martin Waddell

I don t think you can ever go wrong with a children s book by Martin Waddell and this book is no exception The main characters in this story are Big bear and Little bear "Big bear is the big bear and little bear is the little bear". As a teacher I like the fact that Big bear isn t referred to as dad, it enables more children to identify with the characters. I know thats sad, but its a sign of the times .Of the 30 children currently in my class only 6 live with a dad in the same house! Anyway I digress. The story has a repetitive structure allowing children to join in at various points. Basically little bear is unable to settle to sleep because he is ...

Can't You Sleep, Little Bear? - Martin Waddell

Little Bear is afraid of the dark: the dark is sooo big, and not even the biggest lantern can dispel it. What can the Big Bear do? This is a sweet, enchanting book, perfect for bedtime reading, suitable for older toddlers and younger pre-schoolers alike. Most little children have gone through a period of repeatedly getting out of bed and demanding something from the parents (even if it wasn't an increasingly bigger lantern), so they (and their parnets too) will be able to relate to this one. I don't think this tale is a particularly great solution for children terribly afraid of the dark, although they (as will those with only mild worries) will be able to ...

Owl Babies - Martin Waddell

Owl Babies by Martin Waddell is a lovely picture story book for very young children. The story is about three baby owls named Sarah, Percy and Bill, who wake up in the middle of the night and find their mother is gone. The book has a lovely rhythm to it, although it is not written in poetry form. It's more like a song, with a few gentle rhythmical lines, then one which cuts the rhythm and draws the child's attention, which is excellent for young heads and short attention spans. There are also a few rhymes thrown in which get caught up in the rhythm, and one particular rhyming couplet which is repeated throughout: "The little owls thought -All owls ...
