"This follow-up to the best-selling Kiss Good Night will comfort little ones like a cozy blanket that's tucked in just right." -- Booklist (starred review)
In the little white house, Mrs. Bear is putting Sam to bed, when suddenly -- HCK HCK! coughs Sam. Mrs. Bear gets some syrup. But the syrup tastes bad, and there's too much of it on a too-big spoon, and it's too hard to swallow. What will make Sam feel better? Acclaimed picture-book creators Amy Hest and Anita Jeram revisit Sam and Mrs. Bear as they share a quiet moment of comfort that is enough to conquer the coldest night.Author Biography
