I Hear Bears is a picture book written by C. C. Wolf, with illustrations by Shannen Marie Paradero. It follows a curious little girl who wakes up at night to a strange sound. She embarks on a search around her house to discover the source of the noise. As she investigates, she hears a sound that resembles a bear's growl, leading her to wonder if there is indeed a bear in her house and what it might be doing. In her quest to discover where the rumbling sound is coming from, she explores different rooms in the house. She looks behind doors, in the cupboards, and in the pets' room, but finds nothing but silence. The moment she reaches her dad's room, she realizes it is coming from inside. Join the little girl as she discovers what is behind her dad's bedroom door that is making the growling sound.
I Hear Bears is a heartwarming story that captures the curious and adventurous spirit of children. It is whimsical and suspenseful, featuring relatable moments that many readers will resonate with. Whether young or old, we have all been woken by mysterious noises that spark the thrill of discovery. The story explores themes of imagination, bravery, and reassurance, culminating in a playful realization that can help young readers differentiate between real fears and harmless everyday occurrences. C. C. Wolf’s narration is gentle, with entertaining rhymes suitable for bedtime stories. The illustrations complement the story perfectly, depicting the little girl in her investigative element, with a torch in one hand and her beloved toy in the other. The text in a clear font is separate from the artwork, making it easier to read for anyone who may have reading difficulties or is developing their reading skills. Overall, this is great work.
