The Night Bear
By Anna and Thiago de Moraes
Andersen Press, 2019. Unpaged. Picture Book.
In this picture book the Night Bear rides the bus to town in search for his dinner. When he arrives he finds that there are a lot of nightmares he can eat. He is happy when he finds he evil witches that taste like egg sandwiches, a scary yet that tastes like yummy spaghetti, and angry gnomes that taste like ice cream cones. But what happens when he finds a good dream? YUCK! It doesn't taste very good. Luckily, Night Bear finds someone who can enjoy the good dream.
This book is great way to reframe how children see nightmares. It comes with instructions on how to fold an oragami box to put their nightmares in so that a Night Bear can eat the bad dream for dinner. The fun writing style paired with fun illustrations makes it a great story for bedtime.
