Review

It is a winter's night and a little boy awakes or does he and hears some loud noises, "rap, bap, tap, crunch, scrunch and crinkle, crackle and crack." He creeps to the door and sees a friendly bear beckoning him to come along! Hand in hand they travel through the forest and meet other forest creatures along the way. Though the illustrations are enough to chill anyone to the bone yet somehow you can't help but feel warmth and chumminess. Finally, the little boy and his new little forest friends reach the end of their trek and are greeted with a splendiferous flurry of flowers, birds and other spring time nuances. Recommend.

Overall Book Score: very good
