Crisp winds, fleeing geese, and autumn clouds—it's time for Small Bear to go to bed. But as Mama Bear leads the way to rest for the winter, Small Bear can't help but wonder why they have to sleep through the season when there's a mouse that's still scurrying around, a chipmunk gathering nuts, and skunks and hares romping among the trees. Mama Bear gently teaches Small Bear that animals have different habits, and eventually they fall into a snuggly snooze looking oh-so-forward to waking up in a sunny spring! This blissful book is perfect for new readers—full of darling illustrations and easy-to-read sentences. For ages 4 to 8.
