One cold, cold night, Mrs Bear is putting Sam to bed. "Hck hck," coughs Sam. So Mrs Bear fetches some syrup. But there's too much syrup on a too-big spoon, and Sam can't swallow it. Mrs Bear knows just what to do to make Sam feel better though, and together they sit up in a cosy chair, watching as the snow begins to fall outside. Parents and children everywhere will recognize the loving question and answer format of this cosy book - Anita Jeram's striking art style emanates warmth and light, and creates the perfect bedtime ambiance for parents and children to share.
