Little Bear who never has been able to sleep through the winter as little bears should, wok up early another time. A big yellow moon was shining, the ground and trees were covered with snow, the houses were lighted up, and in their windows and doors were wreaths of holly tied with bright red ribbons. Little Bear had never seen anything like this before! It was Little Bear's first Christmas Eve.

Here is the happy blend of humor, sentiment and absurdity that appears in all the Lothrop "Little Bear" books.
