What's over the mountain? A little bear and his best friends, of course! Story time darling Jane Cabrera puts a sweet spin on a classic children's song.
Jane Cabrera is a designer and fine artist, as well as the author and illustrator of almost 60 books for children. She specializes in fresh reimaginings of nursery rhymes and fairy tales; Publishers Weekly has said "her style exudes the joy of creation." She lives beside Dartmoor National Park in South Devon, England.
"This is a glorious answer to the question behind 'to see what he
could see,' and gives children many more choruses and opportunities
for practicing vocabulary. Antic, lovable scenes of smiling
creatures and verses that quickly become familiar guarantee this a
spot on most shelves." —School Library Journal
"Cabrera has once again made a traditional kid’s song into a
storytime pleaser. It won’t take even one full read-through for
kids to be singing along, and when they see themselves in the sweet
twist at the close, they’ll likely giggle with glee. Her acrylic
paintings are, as usual, lush and lovely. Jaunty out of the
gate—such fun."—Kirkus Reviews
"While this is not the first picture book to end with a child
tucked into bed along with stuffies or other toys that had been
depicted as real earlier in the illustrations, it’s among the most
satisfying. What’s more, the vibrant, colorful artwork turns the
song into a bedtime book that’s sure to inspire encores. Can sleep
be far behind? A cheerful singalong book to share with a preschool
class or a single child."—Booklist
