The bear is supposed to be hibernating… but the den is WILD, CRAZY, and full of nonstop giggle-inducing chaos! 🤪🎈🎵🥁🎷💥🎉
Who could fall asleep with all this racket? 😹💫🎨🎶🌈 So fun. Can't wait to read to my hubby's class.

In #ThisisNotaSleepyBearBook, @briangehrlein.bsky.social & Jennifer Harney work their magic, juggling both the sweet, lyrical & classic storybook words/setting AND the chaotic, colorful & super fun shenanigans that happen inside Bear’s den. Hilariously distributing bedtimes starting Nov 11, 2025!

As much as I adore bear, and wish I had more of his qualities, I’m honestly more like 🦉…

But it wouldn’t hurt for me to add a splash or two of bear! 😉

So...which are you?

Are you on team Bear or Owl?!
