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?

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!
