Sleepy Bears is a 1999 children's picture book by Mem Fox. It is about a bear preparing her family of six baby bears for hibernation.
Reception
In a review of Sleepy Bears, Booklist wrote: "As in Koala Lou (1988), Fox depicts the comfort and security of family without ever resorting to the syrup of many "I love you" books for preschoolers". [1] School Library Journal called it a cleverly written bedtime book, [1] while Kirkus Reviews found it "a bewitching collection of sleepy time rhymes". [2]
Sleepy Bears has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly, [3] Reading Time, [4] and Australia's Parents. [5]
