This was a very nice and pretty straightforward autumn story, complete with woodland animals, falling leaves, and learning about the change of seasons. And when he wakes up again in spring, he is glad to find that the trees are looking much better, and are even beginning to sprout brand new leaves. Finally, Bear finds that he has grown very tired, and takes some of the fallen leaves to a den in the ground, falling into a deep sleep as snow coats the ground. Bear tries to reattach the leaves, but it’s not the same. First one, then another, then lots and lots, falling into colorful piles on the ground. But as the weather turns colder, Bear is very surprised to see the leaves change colors, then begin falling off the tree. This sweet companion to David Ezra Stein's award-winning Leaves celebrates the joy of savoring something you love.Hello, everybody!
