(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Cinar. Bear is lonely; the other forest animals are all afraid of him. Then Bear invites the others to a pre-hibernation party, which, though initially awkward, becomes quite convivial, with singing, dancing, and good food. The story is amiable if predictable, and the illustrations attract attention with their loose, spontaneous style and unusual use of color. A recipe for Bear's honey-ginger cookies is appended.
