Reception

[edit]

In a review of Sleepy Bears, Booklist wrote: "As in Koala Lou (1988), Fox depicts the comfort and security of family without ever resorting to the syrup of many "I love you" books for preschoolers".[2] School Library Journal called it a cleverly written bedtime book,[2] while Kirkus Reviews found it "a bewitching collection of sleepy time rhymes".[3]

Sleepy Bears has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly.[4]
