On a cold winter night many animals gather to party in the cave of a sleeping bear, who then awakes and protests that he has missed the food and the fun.

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

When Bear discovers he has a loose tooth, his friends try to help make it fall out.

A homeowner remembers visits from all the animals whose tracks, feathers, and other traces are visible--except for the moose whose prints are everywhere.

Just as Lewis the mouse is settling into his near-perfect home for the winter, still wondering what is missing, he hears noises and must roar to scare away whatever horrid creature is scratching and tapping at his tree.

As Bear and his friends stroll through the forest, they find different kinds of bird's eggs and leave gifts for the soon-to-be chicks.

Little Pip the penguin comes to terms with the presence of an Egg, which will soon hatch into a little brother or sister.

Afraid to swim, Pip the penguin would much rather learn to fly.
