PreSchool-Grade 2–It's the day before Christmas,
and Bear's friends have gathered in his lair to
wake him up to celebrate the holiday. They get
a tree, pop corn and bake fruitcake, and hang
stockings and hum songs. The others doze off,
but Bear keeps busy wrapping presents, baking
cookies, and decorating, unaware that a certain
plump, red-suited gentleman is watching from outside
the cave. The rhyming text sings, shouts, whispers,
and crows, and the appealing acrylic illustrations
are dear. This is an exuberant tale of friendship
and perseverance, and holiday storytimes will
be the brighter for it.–M. A.
