Suddenly "awake" in the middle of winter, a "big bear" explores a "cosy cabin," which Bear of course "enters excitedly." But the cabin isn't empty - a little girl lives there. So begins an unlikely friendship and an unexpected adventure as the girl attempts to figure out what a bear is supposed to be doing in the winter. (Hint: It's not eating pancakes or visiting the library!) With her trademark humour and warmth, Hannah E. Harrison puts her own irresistible spin on the classic alphabet book. The result is a story families will treasure for years to come.
