Don't You Know It's Bedtime?
Open the doors to meet Bear's friends in this sweet and simple story that helps everyone settle down at bedtime.
Knock! Knock!
Who's that? Let's open the door and see . . .
Hello, Mouse! Don't you know it's bedtime?
Bear is getting ready for bed. He's had a little snack, brushed his teeth and put on his big bear pyjamas when - Knock! Knock! - someone is at the door. Don't they know it's bedtime? It's Mouse and she needs a little snack. Then Crocodile arrives and her toothbrush is broken, and - uh oh - Lion's pyjamas are too small, and now wide-awake Owl is playing her trumpet very loudly. Can Bear help his friends so they can all get a good night's sleep?
