It's cold in the woods and it's time for Little Bear to start his winter sleep. But not before he says good night to all of his special forest friends?badger, deer, rabbit, mouse, fox, owl, squirrel, and wolf. Now Little Bear can happily fall asleep in his warm and cozy den all snuggled up to his mother...knowing that his friends will watch out for him during his long winter's sleep.
