Submitted by SarahKate on Sat, 11/03/2007 - 21:49.SarahKate's Notes:
With each character that shows up, we laughed out loud at their silly names - Moosie Moose, Cowsie Cow, Piggie Pig, etc.
 | author: Bernard Waber rating: asin: 039586450X binding: Hardcover list price: $16.00 USD amazon price: $12.48 USD |
Bearsie Bear is just falling asleep when a very cold Moosie Moose knocks on the door and asks to sleep over in Bearsie Bear's warm bed. Next knocks Cowsie Cow, then Piggie Pig, then Foxie Fox, then Goosie Goose . . . and the bed becomes, to say the least, crowded. The final knock is from Porkie Porcupine, whose insistence on a place to sleep causes a very pointed problem. How these animal friends make room for one another makes for a truly friendly picture book read-aloud for very young children.
