Illustrated by
Bruce Degen.
In this inexpensive paper-over-board edition, Jesse Bear dances and cavorts through his day, answering the title question with all sorts of silly ideas: "I'll wear carrots and peas / And a little more please..." After his bath he wears pajamas "and three kisses, too." Degen's illustrations of Jesse Bear's first literary appearance are as warm and cozy as Carlstrom's rhyming text.
