Bear wants to tell a story, but first he has to help the other animals get ready for the winter. An endearing tale of friendship and patience, by an award-winning author/illustrator team.

It was almost winter and Bear was getting sleepy.

But first, Bear had a story to tell...
Bear found his friend Mouse, but Mouse was busy gathering seeds and didn't have time to listen to a story. Then Bear saw his friend Duck, but Duck was getting ready to fly south. What about his friend Toad? He was busy looking for a warm place to sleep. By the time Bear was through helping his friends get ready for winter, would anyone still be awake to hear his story?

A charming companion to Philip and Erin Stead's Caldecott Medal winning collaboration
