As the timid Little Mouse navigates the holiday season, the looming presence of the bear promises unexpected twists. Can a new friendship blossom from fear?

This enchanting tale of courage and unexpected bonds invites readers to explore the magic of friendship and the spirit of the season.

From the publisher

The long-awaited sequel to Don & Audrey Wood’s mega-bestselling, award-winning classic THE BIG HUNGRY BEAR (1984), which has sold more than 18 million copies in hardcover worldwide. Painted in acrylics using the same technique and the same paper as the bestseller THE LITTLE MOUSE, THE RED RIPE STRAWBERRY AND THE BIG HUNGRY BEAR, this delightful picture book brings back the same beloved characters, the timid Little Mouse and the mysterious unseen Big Hungry Bear, and ends with a wonderful Christmas surprise–the promise of a new friendship between a tiny mouse and a big bear who doesn’t seem quite so scary after all.
