As winter approaches, Bear begins collecting moss, logs, and branches to build himself a house. The other animals cannot see the point of his work and think he is behaving strangely, but cold weather soon makes the comfortable shelter much more appealing. Having prepared for a quiet season, Bear discovers that a warm home may attract visitors with plans of their own. John Yeoman’s story explores foresight, friendship, and the complications of sharing, with Quentin Blake’s expressive illustrations giving the woodland characters their lively personalities. This fortieth anniversary edition celebrates a picture-book tale in which one animal’s sensible preparations lead to a winter far less restful than he expected.
