Books are a big part of our bedtime routine, and one that’s become a real family favourite in our house is There’s a Bear in Your Book by Tom Fletcher. Our son absolutely adores it — and to be honest, so do we! It’s written in that wonderfully fun, interactive style Tom Fletcher is known for, just like his other book, There’s a Monster in Your Book, which is another big hit here.
What makes There’s a Bear in Your Book so special is how interactive and imaginative it is. The story encourages little ones to follow along and join in, which is such a brilliant way to keep them engaged. It doesn’t rely on flaps or gimmicks — instead, it invites children to use their imagination and creativity, which I absolutely love.
It’s also a fantastic choice for bedtime. The story starts off lively, helping little ones burn off some energy as they follow the bear’s playful instructions, but it ends in a calming, gentle way that’s perfect for winding down before sleep.
The way the book is written and illustrated is just so clever — it feels like you’re part of the story, and it always brings smiles and giggles before bedtime.
If you’re looking for a fun, engaging, and heartwarming book to share with your little ones, There’s a Bear in Your Book is definitely one to add to your shelf. It’s a story we’ll keep coming back to again and again.
