Bookroo's summary

While a bear sleeps through the winter, a huge factory is built over his forest. When he wakes, the foreman insists he is not a bear at all but a lazy man who needs a shave, and puts him to work in the factory. Can the bear prove to everyone, and to himself, that he really is a bear?
