Nayu's thoughts

This is another mega adorable read from Salina, whose names I now associate with cute reads. I could totally relate to the bear (through bear's bunny) being afraid of the night storm. I'm still a bit afraid of the dark, and although I'm wary of storms due to nightmares I can appreciate how scary a storm at night can be. When it's already dark so you can't see anything, thunder is terrifying when a big imagination gets to work. I loved the expression on the bunny's face as the story went on, and thought the way the bear's parents helped deflect his fear was clever.  

Suggested read

The first book I read by Salina which features a familiar looking bear and bunny was Found (Children's, Picture book, 10E/10E)
