It's Christmas and Bear wants to give his best friend Squirrel an extra special present. So he decides to make him a gift. Except Bear isn't very good at making things. Everything he tries is a disaster. He can't give Squirrel a badly knitted jumper, a terrible painting or a broken rocking chair. But maybe if he puts them together they might turn out to be the best Christmas present ever . . .
