Bear By Karma Wilson

In a cave in the woods, in his deep, dark lair, through the long, cold winter sleeps a great brown bear.

In this playful and charmingly illustrated Classic Board Book, Bear has so much to give thanks for! What better way for Bear to say thanks than over a nice, big dinner? Bear decides to throw a feast! One by one, Bear’s friends show up with different platters of delicious food to share. There’s just one problem: Bear’s cupboards are bare! What is he to do?

As final preparations are being made for a long-planned surprise party, Bear gets so excited he nearly ruins everything.

When Bear is too sick to play, his animal friends go to his cave to make him soup and tea and keep him company.

When spring comes, Bear wakes up very hungry and is treated to great food by his friends.

The day before Christmas, snuggled on his floor, Bear sleeps soundly with a great big snore. "Dear Bear. Get up!" Mouse shouts in his ear. "We won't let you sleep through Christmas this year." Bear's friends are determined that he'sawake for Christmas and they get him up from his hibernation on Christmas Eve. Bear is excited to experience the holiday with his friends and tries very hard to stay awake, helping to find the right Christmas tree, making mint tea and singing carols. Finally, though, it's his friends who have fallen asleep - and Bear Stays Up! He makes food and presents for his friends, not noticing that Father Christmas has also come to visit. Christmas morning dawns bright and happy for all!

As friends Bear and Mouse share a day together, Bear counts various objects, from one to five, and the reader is invited to do the same. Simultaneous eBook.
