I remember this book from when I was a child and I'm keen to share the stories I loved with my son so when I signed him up for a library card the other day (at 5 months old) it was the first book we borrowed! It's a great bedtime story. My daughter enjoyed this book as she loved listening to the different noises Mr bear could hear at night. it is 1 of her favourite bed time books she will ask me to read to her. Play ‘I hear with my little ear’. Listen to what sounds you can hear outside in the garden or inside. Say “I hear, with my little ear, something that sounds like…” and try to copy the noise with your voice. This was the first story I chose to share with my little girl at just 1 month. I use to love this story as a child and I hope she will love it too. It is great as children can join in with the sounds and saying 'I can't stand THIS!'Find out why we need sleep.

You could use this example from Wallace and Gromit to give you some ideas: I read this book to my son when he was only weeks old and loved it! Now he's 7 months he stares at the pictures and gurgles at the rhyme scheme. A lovely bed time story for any day of the week. Look at the use of capital letters in the story.
