“I love this story about Bear, who gets really tired as winter is coming (and he needs to hibernate), but he wants to stay up so he doesn't miss out on any of the fun. Bear's sweet family of ducks makes sure to include Bear as much as possible in their activities so he won't feel left out. :) This is a cute one!”
