Somewhere To Sleep

, S8>

Little Bear had been playing
in the sun all year. He was happily
watching the world go by when the
first snowflake fell. It landed on his nose.
“Hmm,” he said to himself. “I think it’s time
I found a special, snuggly, warm place to
spend the winter.” So off he went to find one.





It snowed harder and the wind howled.
Little Bear found a hollow log.

“This would make a perfect home for me,”
he thought. “Dry and dark and out of the wind
And he wriggled his nose inside.

“It’s far too prickly in here for you,” said the
hedgehogs. Sq Little Bear ran off in surprise.

Beside the river, Little Bear found a hole in the bank.

Little Bear stomped up to a big cave.

“But it’s my home!” said the big bear who showed

\A/hen Little Bear peeped inside, a lovely sight ■m
met his eyes! A friendly little bear, quite like
himself, was smiling at him.

“Come inside, Little Bear. It’ll be warmer
with two!” Little Bear forgot that he’d
been sad and gratefully clambered in.

The first snow/flakes are falling and it’s time
for Little Bear to settle down for winter.

But the other animals will not share their homes
and Little Bear is left all alone. Will no one find him

somewhere to sleep?

This is a charming story of kindness and friendship
with moving pictures on every page.
