More ideas to make this an engaging reading experience include:

  • Read the book wearing jammies and cuddled up in a blanket, as if you are Bear wanting to sleep.
  • Go caroling to neighbor’s houses like Bear and his friends sing.
  • Decorate your Christmas tree if you haven’t done so already
  • Try making (or buy) a fruitcake and eat it like Bear and his friends do.
