The bear's cave becomes a safe haven for the other animals. They come in with their snacks and being to share as the bear hibernates. When the bear awakens because of some pepper, the other animals are frightened. Will the bear eat them? Really, he is sad because they have had a party without him. So, they keep partying until everyone is asleep except the bear. Here is a website, by the author, that gives some actvities to use in class: ttp://www.bearsnoreson.com/bearbooks.html This book can be used to talk about hibernation. Do bears hibernate in caves? How long do they sleep? Would another animal get near the sleeping bear? While reading the book, I noticed the refrain that would be great for the children to become involved in the book to say, " and the bear snores on."
