Sterling Children's Books says; "Poor little bear! He’s supposed to hibernate—but if he does, he’ll sleep right through Christmas! What can he do? Winter is coming, and it’s time for little bear to settle in for his long cold-weather nap. But this means he won’t get to celebrate Christmas with his woodland friends, and he’s very sad. Can his pals find a clever way to help him join in the fun? This heartwarming, holiday picture book captures the festive spirit of the holiday and the beauty of friendship."

My grandsons loved The Bear Who Didn't Want to Miss Christmas - they were very concerned about the bear who did not get to celebrate Christmas . . . and very happy they do not hibernate! A fun story with a solid message - and I'm happy to say my grandson took it to school to give to his class, so more children will be able to enjoy the story!
