No Sleep for Bear

Description

Bear is back! The lovable hero of Waterstones Children's Book Prize shortlisted The Bear who Stared is getting into more scrapes in this irresistible follow-up title from Duncan Beedie. Winter is approaching and it's time for Bear to have a nice long sleep . . . but the more he tries to get to sleep, the more AWAKE he feels. So he decides to copy his forest friends who seem to doze off without any trouble: he sings in the trees like Blackbird, burrows underground like Badger, and even hangs upside down from his cave-roof like a bat. But nothing works - until wise Frog shows him how to relax, and soon the forest is reverberating with his snores! A perfect bedtime story which will strike a chord with all parents of fidgety, wriggly, wide-awake children!

Duncan Beedie has been doodling and drawing since the early 1980s. He began his career animating children's TV before branching into design for websites, games and apps. These days he's a freelance illustrator based in Bristol, where he has a desk in a studio overlooking the city. No Sleep for Bear is a follow-up to The Bear Who Stared, shortlisted for the Waterstone's Prize, and is Duncan's fifth book for Templar. Other titles are The Lumberjack's Beard, The Last Chip and Molly's Moon Mission.
