Bruno Falls Asleep — Sylvie Daigneault

First, Bruno saw Santa Claus in Bruno in the Snow. Next, he embarked on a springtime search for his forest pals in Bruno Springs Up. In Bruno and the Bees, he encountered a sticky summer problem involving honey and a rather testy queen bee. Now, in this fourth seasonal installment of the adventures of a cuddly and very curious little bear, Bruno vows not to do what bears are meant to do - he refuses to hibernate. What happens next is a vintage Bruno story - a little scary adventuring and a lot of friendly rescuing, all wrapped up in a satisfyingly happy conclusion, perfect for a pre-schooler. Once again, Sylvie Daigneault's richly expressive illustrations wrap around her story like a cuddly blanket. This is a book (and a series) that children will ask for again and again.
