Bookroo's summary

A bear prepares for winter, building a cozy home while others mock him. As the cold sets in, the animals seek refuge with him, turning his peaceful retreat into a lively den. With no rest in sight, how will the bear handle his boisterous guests? As spring approaches, a clever solution emerges, promising a new beginning for all.

From the publisher

The bear is behaving very strangely indeed: collecting moss, logs, and branches to build a winter house. The other animals think this is silly, and laugh at him, but when winter comes, bear is cozy in his house while the other animals suffer in the cold. Being a very kind bear, he invites the others in; but unfortunately for the bear, they are too excited to sleep—it seems he will get no rest at all this winter. But when spring arrives, he finds a solution.
