What is One bear at bedtime about?

It is nearly bedtime, but one little boy still needs help getting ready. First comes one bear, then two cats, three dogs and more lively animals, all joining in as the counting grows. From washing and brushing to settling down for sleep, the bedtime routine becomes a cheerful parade of creatures. With each new number, the boy’s imagination fills the room until ten animals are gathered together. A playful counting story with a warm, reassuring ending for young children.
