Description
Bear invites his friends to join him for a picnic on the new raft he has built. Everything is going swimmingly until their outing is disrupted by a group of loud frogs, who want to join the fun. Bear and his friends don't want the frogs to join them, but they run into some trouble trying to escape...can an unexpected rescue save the day?
The bear's plans go awry once more in this follow-up to the highly popular The Bear's Winter House, in a new format.
