Featuring illustrations by Erin E. Stead. It was almost winter and Bear was getting sleepy. But first, Bear had a story to tell . . . Bear found his friend Mouse, but Mouse was busy gathering seeds and didn't have time to listen to a story. Then Bear saw his friend Duck, but Duck was getting ready to fly south.
