Summary

Bear is worried and feels hurried as he races to eat enough before his big winter sleep, and he no longer has time to spend with his forest friends. So they devise a clever plan that will allow Bear to slow down, spend time with his pals, and get the food he needs all at the same time. Listen in to this delightful rhyming tale of friendship.
