MARTIN WADDELL is the recipient of the 2004 Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his contribution to children's literature. Of SLEEP TIGHT, LITTLE BEAR, he says, "I visited the last of my children to leave home, one of my own Little Bears. He had an empty house, but proudly showed me a new bed and a new table and a new chair . . . like the playhouses we had made when he was very small. After that, what else could I do but write the story?" Martin Waddell lives in Northern Ireland.
