BEARSIE BEAR AND THE SURPRISE SLEEPOVER PARTY

Moosie Moose knocks on Bearsie Bear's door to ask if he may sleep over on a cold evening in the first of a series of guest-proposed invitations. "This cumulative caper uses repetition and alliteration to rollicking effect," said PW, describing the tale as "especially suitable for a bedtime giggle or two." Ages 3-8. (May)
