Make bedtime bearable again with Hush Up and Hibernate--now available in paperback!
Leaves are falling; a cold wind is blowing, geese are heading south. Clearly, winter is coming. It's time for black bears to do what they always do this time of year--hibernate. Kids will get a kick out of this romp of a tale about a black bear cub that finds every excuse imaginable to avoid the inevitable go-to-bed moment.
Will Mama Bear finally win?
Or will Baby Bear come up with the ultimate reason to skip going to sleep?

About the Hush Up Series
As natural as spring follows winter, children test limits. While children try to become independent, their words and behavior often say 'no.' Your child won't go to bed, doesn't go along for the ride, or may have a range of mealtime and other routine behaviors.
The Hush Up Series gives parents and children a chance to laugh at themselves through universal parent/child struggles while learning a thing or two about our natural world along the way.
