Tried to hibernate. Failed. THIS IS NOT A SLEEPY BEAR BOOK launches TOMORROW! Set three alarms just in case... This is no time to sleep! ⏰⏰⏰ Huge shoutout to my super-talented editor, @briangehrlein.bsky.social Full #BookReview: https://andreakoehlejones.com/2025/11/10/book-review-by-childrens-author-andrea-koehle-jones/ #ThisIsNotASleepyBearBook #BookLaunch “Written with wit, warmth, and hilarious charm, Brian’s words pair perfectly with Jennifer’s calming and grounding earth-toned art. She beautifully balances the quiet hush of the woods with the joyful, party-fueled chaos inside Bear’s den. Together, they offer something especially meaningful for children growing up in a digital world—a gentle invitation to slow down, look closely, and feel the laughter and warmth of the forest. Gehrlein and Harney create pure read-aloud magic—perfect for bedtime, storytime, or any moment that calls for laughter.” — Andrea Koehle Jones, Children’s Book Author and Environmental Education Advocate
