When spring comes, Bear wakes up very hungry and is treated to great food by his friends.

Bear's animal friends come to his rescue when he becomes lost and frightened in the woods.

Unhappy in his cramped, cold hole, Mortimer Mouse moves into a nativity scene thinking it is the perfect home for him, until he discovers who truly belongs there.

When Bear discovers he has a loose tooth, his friends try to help make it fall out.

Bear thanks his friends for bringing food dishes to his dinner party and finds a way of sharing something of his own.

When Bear is too sick to play, his animal friends go to his cave to make him soup and tea and keep him company.

While taking a walk with Mouse, Bear meets many other friends and sees colors everywhere.

Little Mortimer Mouse, longing to see something green at winter's end, follows the lead of the big people and plants, waters, and weeds his last sunflower seed until, finally, with God's help and a lot of patience, he harvests his crop.

"It's time for Bear to hibernate but he can't sleep, so his friends all band together to help"-- Provided by publisher.

Just as Lewis the mouse is settling into his near-perfect home for the winter, still wondering what is missing, he hears noises and must roar to scare away whatever horrid creature is scratching and tapping at his tree.
