Each day, from September through November, brings glimpses of forest animals seeking food in preparation for the onset of winter, from a fox sniffing the last apple on the ground to a flock of wild turkeys that finds nothing.

A bear naps, a fox trots, a woodpecker taps, and a beaver chops as the animals in a forest are viewed in their daily activities.

Excluded by the other forest animals for not being cute, cuddly, and playful, a porcupine feels lonely and angry until he finds a prickly companion, Miss Pointypants.

When Bear is too sick to play, his animal friends go to his cave to make him soup and tea and keep him company.

Children will delight in discovering the many plants and animals who call the rain forest home in a clever adaptation of the song "The Green Grass Grows All Around."

A small, crooked evergreen tree is sad and lonely when the other trees are cut down to be taken indoors at Christmas, but new friends help him feel special, too.

Bear's friends awaken him the day before Christmas and help him to stay awake as they bake fruitcakes, fill stockings, and sing carols; then, while they sleep, he prepares his own surprise.

In this almost wordless picture book, a troupe of baby forest animals borrows a child's hat, until all that is left is a long piece of red string.

As Baby Bear tries to find his way home through the forest, he asks many different woodland creatures for help and finds that much of their advice is more comforting than helpful.

In spite of the worsening weather, Izzy the chipmunk sets off to Bear's den in response to an urgent request from a friend in need.
