Teaches a valuable lesson.......2002-10-29
My 3 year old loves this book for the beautiful illustrations of the animals and the forest during Autumn. However, one night after we read it a bedtime, she looked over at me and said that she liked "how all of the animals took care of each other." If she can get this simple, yet crucially important lesson from a children's book, I would say that the author has gone above and beyond her intentions.
A BEAUTIFUL TREAT.......2001-09-27
This book is another stunning sucess for Fleming. Beautiful illustrations, which employ autumn-ish color schemes, make for a visual treat, while the story conveys a wonderful message of social responsibility. Highly recommended for bedtime as well as discussions about hibernation (all the information about each animal's hibernation behavior is accurate, and obviously researched).
I loved using this book with my kindergarten class!!.......1999-07-09
This is a wonderful book to use when explaining the concept of hibernation and change of season. There is a terrific flow from page to page with a "surprise" ending that my students loved. It is a wonderful spring-board for class discussions and "acting - out" activities!
A quick look at the book, author, and illustrator........1999-05-06
The leaves are changing color and the days are getting cooler. " I smell winter in the air," said bear. " It is time for me to crawl into my cave and sleep." " But I must tell snail first." As a forest of friends, realize that the leaves are changing and that winter is coming, they must tell each other. It starts with bear, and she tells snail. Snail tells skunk then skunk must tell turtle and the list goes on. Finally, ladybug gets the message and she goes to tell bear. When she gets there, bear is already sleeping in her cave. Lady bug wakes up bear and tells her that winter is near and that is time for her to crawl into her cave and sleep. Bear says "Ladybug, I am in my cave and I was sleeping." Ladybug says she is sorry. Then all the animals say goodnight to each other. This book is not very exciting compared to most children's books. There is not really a turning point. All that the tale does is repeat the same thing from animal to animal. The animals just tell each other that winter is coming and that it is time to sleep. Author Denise Fleming did a poor job of writing the story. The moral of the story, which is to go to sleep when it is bedtime, was weak. She could have easily put in more detail and action and still get the same point across. Even though the author did a bad job with lack of excitement she did do a good job of describing the setting and what was going on. When snail is moving Fleming used the words " slowly slithered", when she described how turtle moved, she used the words " trudged up Woodchucks hill," and she used the words " scritch and scratch" to describe how skunk was digging. By using these words the reader can picture how the animals were moving. Although the writing was bad the illustrations were good. The pictures are the only thing that the book has going for it. The illustrator did a great job of showing detail and using bright colors. The leaves were bright and different colors, just as they would be expected to be in the fall. Good detail was also used with the shape of the leaves, trees, animals, and each animal's house. Some other good things about the book are that the print is big, there are only a few sentence on each page, and there are not very many big words. These are good examples of why this book would be good for kids who are learning how to read. Because there are not a lot of big words, so kids would be able to understand what they are reading. Time to Sleep would make a great bedtime story, because it would probably bore kids to death. This book would be a great story for kids to read, but because of its lack of excitement it wouldn't be a very good book to read to them. - Jessica Pace

Sweet Story!.......2001-03-06
Wake Me Up In Spring is a wonderful little book to read with a young child. The interaction between two friends, a mouse and a bear, conveys the sadness of being separated from a good friend and the joy of reuniting in a very simple and sweet way. You'll walk away from this one happy.

Seasonal Book.......2000-08-15
This is a beautiful, easy to read book, that is excellent for use in the pre-k to 2nd grade classroom for discussions on the seasons and Autumn in particular. It also makes a good choice for classroom units on bears. Arnosky consistently does inspiring work.
Book Description
In the eleventh and final title in the Animal Behavior series, kids will find out which animals hibernate and why, the difference between true hibernators and deep sleepers, where animals hibernate, what happens while they hibernate, and much more. Whether to avoid extreme weather, conserve energy or survive on meager resources, animals hibernate in some unexpected ways. Did you know? * The woodchuck's breathing rate drops to as low as one breath every five minutes while hibernating. * Thousands of garter snakes hibernate together, hidden in rocky crevices. * It isn't just animals living in cold climates who avoid extreme weather. In hot, dry climates, many animals seek shelter for long periods of time. The Australian water-holding frog "drinks" from its own bladder while buried underground.

Forget about hibernating.......2006-03-01
This Groundhog would rather play than prepare for Winter or hibernate. So while all of his animal friends nestled into their beds, he played in the snow. But it was a lonely business, entertaining himself; and besides, he was hungry and cold. After his sleepy friends rebuffed him, Groundhog decided to declare an early Spring so that everyone would wake up and eat. The animals were initially happy about the announcement -- until snow began to fall and the calendar revealed the date to be January 2nd, not February 2nd. His friends wanted to punish Groundhog, but he had finally returned to his burrow and was fast asleep. When he woke up a month later, he saw a strange shadow and thought there would still be six more weeks of Winter. Little did he know that his friends had tricked him by painting the shadow on the ground. They enjoyed the early Spring days while Groundhog went back to sleep.
This mildly amusing story is accompanied by realistic and playful illustrations. Seasonal banners that extend across some double-pages add to young reader interest and keep the storyline moving. See Judy Cox's "Go to Sleep, Groundhog," for a similar but different treatment.
Great Book!.......2005-12-13
In this delightful tale we find that Groundhog does not want to go to sleep. He wants to play, make snowmen, have a snowball fight and build a fort, but all his friends are ready for a long winter nap.
Groundhog is stubborn and stays awake, but soon finds himself to be lonely so he plays a trick on his friends to wake them up way before February 2nd. Maybe that wasn't too good an idea. What do you think happens? You'll giggle when you find out.
This is a really cute tale showing that if you play a trick on someone you can expect to get it back many times over. and also gives children the story of Groundhog Day. The illustrations are bright and cheery and flow nicely with the story.
This is sure to entertain your child.
An Imaginative Story for Young Readers.......2005-12-02
Groundhog adores running around and playing with his friends. So when winter comes, he decides that he won't be hibernating this year. His friends warn him that he'll only end up feeling cold and hungry, but Groundhog refuses to listen. Unfortunately, Groundhog soon finds that refusing to hibernate has only left him feeling lonely, as all of his friends have decided to take part in "the long nap." So Groundhog comes up with a wonderful idea, that will trick his friends, and give him something to do...he decides to announce that Spring has come early! But when his friends discover the truth, they decide to play a little trick on Groundhog. One that he'll never forget.
It is so rare to find children's books about Groundhog Day, so I was ecstatic when I stumbled upon Margery Cuyler's GROUNDHOG STAYS UP LATE. Groundhog is an adorable character who never learns his lesson, while his friends are little tricksters themselves, who love to take part in a good joke every now and then. The delightful story, accompanied by Jean Cassels gorgeous illustrations, will leave young readers enthralled with the story for hours, and parents may find it a challenge to pry it out of their little hands. A delightful story!

The Perfect Book For Toddlers.......2000-10-21
My 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old children adore this book. The story is very simple and there are not a lot of words. The pictures get their attention. They fully understand the story as it is being told to them. I will say, "It's getting cold", and my 1 1/2 year old says "cold". When I say, "The birds are leaving" she waves her hands and says "bye-bye" to the birds. They love to point at the bugs and animals. When the bees come back after winter, they cheer. After checking this out at the library, I knew I had to own it. This will be the book I put in the memory box of cherished baby items. We really love this book!
a sweet, simple book.......2000-09-22
I loved the illustrations, and could feel the change of seasons in my bones. There aren't a lot of words, so if you are reading to an impatient page-turner, then this might be a good book for you. On the other hand, there are details in the illustrations that other children might want to linger over. I did think the ending was a little flat, but perhaps I am being too harsh, since my daughter didn't seem to mind it at all.

This is the best snappy toy book!.......2001-06-13
My baby loves her Daddy to yawn along with Penny Polar bear. We have all these books, except for the snake one, and this one is the best in the series. Penny gets really sleepy and digs a cave for the winter. Other animals hear her yawn and think it's a monster. Penny comes out of the cave with two new baby cubs! All of them yawn and awaken to spring. Very cute polar bear and cubs! One of my 9-month-old's very favorites.
