It
is a cold and windy day, and Bear is bored and missing his friends. Then Bear
comes up with an idea; he will put together a feast that he can share with his friends.
This is a splendid plan, but there is a rather big problem; Bear’s food
cupboard is empty. How can Bear host a feast if he has no food?
Thankfully for Bear, his friends are
generous creatures and they come to Bear’s lair in ones, twos, and threes
bringing all kinds of delicious things to eat. Bear thanks Mouse for his pie,
Hare for his muffins, and Badger for the fish he has brought. He also thanks
Gopher, Mole, Owl, Raven, and Wren for their contributions. Poor Bear is grateful
for the things his friends have brought to his home, and he feels terrible
because he has nothing to share with them.
The story in this wonderful picture book
explores the idea that friendship is one of the greatest gifts we can give to
others. Children will see that true friends, and the times we share with them,
are precious.
This is one of the titles in a collection of
books featuring Bear and his friends.
