Since 2002, young readers (and, yes, we admit, their parents) have delighted to Karma Wilson's tale of a forest creature's very contented winter hibernation. Even the cold winter night arrival of an entire menagerie of chattering animal friends doesn't snap Bear's peaceful slumber. An adorable picture book for any child who likes animals; in other words, any child. A sleeping bear, a blustery winter, and a handful of sweet woodland animals make this delightful picture book a welcome offering from first-time author Karma Wilson. Using rhyming text to create an inspired read-aloud, Wilson shows us how one bear snores on... To create a bear cave just drape a blanket over different pieces of furniture like chairs, in between beds, etc. It kinda looks like a kids clubhouse but with a hibernation theme 9. Do Art It is a cold winter’s day. Some forest animals stop by Bear’s cave to warm up. They brew tea and pop-corn and despite all the noise bear snores on. Soon there is a fully-fledged party with dancing and pots of stew. What will bear do when he wakes up? Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre has announced the world premiere stage adaptation of Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman’s book, Bear Snores On.

Easy to follow activity plans include modifications and adaptations to meet the needs of all learners. Cush Jumbo ( Josephine and I) and Katy Sechiari ( Sweeney Todd) have penned the stage adaptation and also serve as co-directors, while Harry Blake ( The Tempest reimagined for everyone aged six and over) provides the score and musical direction. This is a wonderful story to read aloud to children. The author does a great job of building up the pace of the story. It starts very slowly with a little mouse. Then more and more animals arrive in the bear’s den and the noise gets louder and louder until bear gives a great sneeze and wakes up. Playing outdoors was fun, but reading was Karma’s “first love” and, by the age 11, she was devouring about a novel a day. She was even known to try to read while riding her bike down dirt roads, which she does not recommend as it is hazardous to the general well being of the bike, the rider, and more importantly the book. Her reading preferences were fantasy (C.S. Lewis, Terry Brooks, etc…) and historical fiction (L.M. Montgomery, Laura Ingalls Wilder, etc…). Those tastes have not changed much. Have fun with them. Make the sounds and invite your child to join in. Once you have read “ but the bear snores on” a couple of times pause after the word “bear” and let your child finish the phrase. Ask
