Chaucer's First Winter

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. Chaucer, a bear cub, decides not to hibernate so he can discover the joys of wintertime. The story, while not particularly original, is full of lively illustrations showing Chaucer and his animal friends sledding, ice-skating, and tossing snowballs. An occasional glimpse of Chaucer's parents reveals that they, too, have skipped hibernation so they can keep an eye on the curious cub.
