In this delightfully different alphabet book from the creator of Extraordinary Jane, a curious bear makes a new friend. Suddenly "awake" in the middle of winter, a "big bear" explores a "cozy cabin," which Bear of course "enters excitedly." But the cabin isn't empty--a little girl lives there. So begins an unlikely friendship and an unexpected adventure as the girl attempts to figure out what a bear is supposed to be doing in the winter. (Hint: It's not eating pancakes or visiting the library!) With her trademark humor and warmth, Hannah E. Harrison puts her own irresistible spin on the classic alphabet book. The result is a story families will treasure for years to come.

Oh I like this so much.
It's winter and Bear is awake. He finds his way into a cabin and meets a surprised little girl.
So they spend the day together, with all sorts of bear-kid fun.
The illustrations are superb, and the whole story is told using a word for each letter of the alphabet in ABC order, which adds a lovely and challenging structure, almost like writing a classic poem.
