The Bear's Winter House cover

The bear's plans go awry in this welcome paperback reissue of a classic picture book - but the results may not be so disastrous after all!

The bear is behaving very strangely indeed: collecting moss, logs and branches to build a winter house. The other animals think this is silly, and laugh at him, but when winter comes, bear is cosy in his winter house while the other animals suffer in the cold.Bear is preparing his house for winter by gathering moss, logs and branches to keep himself warm. His animal friends think he's being ridiculous and make fun of him - but as the winter approaches, Bear is cosy, while the others shiver out in the cold. Very kindly, Bear lets his friends in, but they are far too excited to sleep and cause a ruckus! Will Bear ever get some rest?
