Old Bear by Kevin Henkes

I am a total sucker for the gentle nature of a season book.  You know the ones I am thinking of - lots of rich, seasonal illustrations as the author leads us from one season to the next.

Bear enters his deep slumber as winter approaches.  Then he dreams luscious bear dreams of meadows, springtime and blueberries.  And the change of seasons.  He wakes and the world is new again.http://www.kevinhenkes.com/

Old Bear by Kevin Henkes will guide your little ones through the seasons while also easing them into slumber.  I think it would be a great book for a reluctant sleeper who wonders, "What happens when I sleep?"
