Winter is quickly approaching, and Bear has a wonderful story he is eager to share. Before he settles down for his long winter sleep, he waddles through the forest to find his friends. But everyone is entirely too busy preparing for the cold weather to stop and listen. As you wander through the changing forest with Bear, you will see his incredible patience. Instead of getting upset, Bear stops to help the mouse gather seeds, assists the duck in flying south, and makes sure the frog finds a warm place to sleep. By the time everyone is settled, Bear is finally ready to rest, too. This cozy, heartwarming tale is the perfect read before bedtime or naptime. It beautifully illustrates the value of patience, kindness, and being a supportive friend, even when you have something very important you want to say.
