Archie can't sleep. Grandma sings lullabies and tells him a story. She makes a warm milky drink and they cuddle up and count fireflies. Archie feels cosy and happy - but still not in the least bit sleepy! Surely there must be something Grandma can do to help a little bear fall asleep?

About the Author:

Claire Freedman is the author of several books for children. She lives on the Essex coast of England. Rory Tyger is the collective name for three artists who have illustrated many children's books; School Library Journal called their work "fresh and original. " The artists live and work in Hertfordshire, England.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2-Grandma bear is baby-sitting Archie, who is having trouble falling asleep. She makes sure he has his stuffed animals, sings lullabies, and warms up milk. Even watching dancing fireflies fails to make her drowsy. What finally works is telling him stories about when his mommy was little, especially about putting her to bed. The language has a gentle cadence that is relaxing and soothing. The pastel-colored illustrations complement the story and the pale tones and soft edges give the artwork a cozy, comforting appearance. Some of the spreads are larger than life and will draw reluctant sleepers right into the scenes. The intergenerational relationship alone makes this a worthy addition to any collection.
