Bears in the Night


Bears in the Night  (1971)
by Stan and Jan Berenstain

This is a limited-word picture book that uses repetition and prepositions to tell its story.  Seven bear siblings hear a mysterious noise from their bed and decide to go investigate.

I remember this book from when I was a girl, so I do have a bit of nostalgia for it.  I enjoy its simplicity and feel like the reader’s approach can either make it into a lesson about placement and positions, a quick bedtime story, or even a spooky Halloween story.
