Here’s my selection for Perfect Picture Book Friday:
Stormy Night
Author and Illustrator Salina Yoon
Fiction
Bloomsbury, January 6, 2015
Suitable for ages: 3-6
Theme/Topic: Fear, Comfort
Opening Spread: One Stormy night, Bear couldn’t sleep.
Brief Synopsis: From Bloomsbury’s website: When thunder shakes his house and rain pounds the windows, Bear is frightened. But comforting his Mama, Papa, and Floppy helps make the storm seem not so scary. Before Bear knows it, the storm has passed, because even storms need their sleep . . . and so do bears.
Resources: Stormy Night activities on the publisher’s website.
Why I Like This Book: I loved the first Bear book Found. The sequel doesn’t disappoint. Enzo really liked the illustrations and the story of a brave Bear, who comforts his parents. Enzo has been tasked with doing that too. As most of you know, I’m a HUGE Salina Yoon fan. Bear, Floppy, and Bear’s parents are simply lovely.

Hope you all are enjoying spring (and that spring is actually cooperating)!
Love that Bloomsbury offers the activity pages for all of Salina’s fans!

I know. I forget sometimes to check the publisher’s site for activities! I don’t know why.
You are my source for all things Salina! I am another big fan (of her, and you!).
Yay. I can be an expert at something!
A book that makes the main character, a child bear, soothe his parents would be any childs fav orite book. I need to look at this one.
Thanks for introducing it to us, Stacy! 🙂
Children have a great way of soothing parents. 🙂 Bear has that ability too.
Yes, I love Salina’s books for young children. This illustrations look wonderful. Since we have a young grandson, I’m always looking for great books for him.
I hope your grandson likes it.
I was utterly pulled in by the cover picture!
I know Bear and Floppy are a lovely pair.
This sounds very sweet. Thanks for the review.
It is a sweet one.
So true. When you help others, you often forget your own discomfort. That’s my take-away on this.
You’ve summed it up better than I did Jilanne.
Cute!
Yes. It. Is.
That adorable cover got me.
Bear is adorable.
I just read FOUND – and fell in love with Bear & Floppy. This looks every bit as engaging. Are there cool end pages like in FOUND?
I know Found is lovely. The end papers are a before and after and set the scene for the story. Hope you can find this one soon.
This sounds awesome! Great pick! 😀
