BLUE BEAR
AND SNOW TOAD
Winter has arrived, and two unusual creatures are still outside. Bear and Toad should hibernate, but, like children balking at bedtime, they beg to stay up late.
"Silly creatures," says a snowshoe hare. "Why are you here instead of down there?" Ah, the two freezing creatures say, we've yet to experience a day of wintry white and enjoy the season's sounds, scents, and sights.
It's a wonderful way to take that end of day energy your toddler or young child may have and channel it into a meaningful bed time story.

In this sweet bedtime story, the negative “I won't go to sleep” is transformed into the very positive “I want to know more.”
Bobby Onas, Amazon review
The author has written a captivating story that the kids want to read over and over again.
