The bear's face is full of different emotions and each scene is very vividly drawn. The author is a very gifted artist. I was delighted to find another 56 of his books in our local library.

When reading this with my three year old son he liked finding the animals. Raccoons are one of his favorites. And he thought it was hilarious that I suggest he sleep all winter like a bear. The colors in the illustrations are soft and beautiful. We enjoyed reading this one together and I think it is a warming story perfect for autumn time.
