Appealing, comical illustrations juxtapose the clamor and wakefulness of the city and the growing sleepiness of the sightseeing bear in this warm, just-right bedtime story.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBeginning with an adventure and ending with a soporific scene, here’s a satisfying bedtime book with broad appeal.\u003cbr\u003eHushed mixed-media artwork comprised of pencils, pastels, and a touch of watercolor, rendered in muted shades of blues and grays, is quietly stunning, particularly a spread of Bear curled up at the bottom of a tree dappled in snow, illuminated by the hazy yellow beam of a park ranger's flashlight.
