Debut author-illustrator Alison Hawkins brings a humorous tale about an adorable bear named Larry, who just so happens to be cozy and content exactly where he is. In fact, he never wants to try anything else! That is, until a little loving push helps Larry to find the joy in trying something new.

Good morning, Larry! It's time to wake up!

But why would Larry want to get out of bed? His pillows are in the perfect spot, his blankets are just oh so soft, his left foot is tucked in the blanket while his right foot is not... this is obviously the most comfortable and best place to be! But look—just over there the breakfast table is loaded with Larry's favorites: eggs and bacon and waffles and hot chocolate and one tiny, perfect, tangerine. Perhaps, Larry would change his mind?

In this adorable picture book, debut author-illustrator Alison Hawkins presents the relatable and too common tale of a stubborn little bear who is gently, lovingly coaxed into eating breakfast, playing with friends, taking a bath, and going to bed! Parents of little ones will surely relate to this hilarious and adorable bedtime book.

      Larry can't possibly imagine getting out of bed, but sure enough the little bear is tempted by all the day has to offer. It's tough to get up in the morning when conditions are just right: soft blankets, pillows in the perfect spot, the ideal temperature. But the unseen narrator (apparently Larry's caregiver) eventually coaxes Larry out with the lure of breakfast. Next it's time to go outside, but Larry prefers to stay at the breakfast table. Eventually, though, the prospect of a sunny day is too appealing to refuse. And so it goes, with Larry being coaxed into a variety of activities. Swimming, a warm bath, and finally the snuggly bed from the book's beginning serve as bait to keep Larry moving. Any caregivers who spend time with little ones will find Larry's reluctance (perhaps painfully) familiar. Hawkins artfully shows little readers just how fantastic each portion of the day can be. There's hot chocolate with whipped cream, a relaxing bubble bath with a rubber duck, and a story before bed. The illustrations are appealing, with just enough detail. Larry is a sweet and playful little bear with childlike features and behaviors. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A tale featuring a relatable lead character and a theme that will resonate with caregivers everywhere. (Picture book. 3-5)
