Illustrated by
Matt Phelan.
A playfully lyrical text describes the seasonal activities of "a boulder-big bear with shaggy, raggy brownbear hair everywhere...except on his no-hair nose." For most of the year his exposed nose is of no concern, but when winter comes it's a different story. Loose-handed illustrations in pastel and pencil show the rotund bear from a wide variety of perspectives.
