Philip C. Stead

Erin E. Stead

It was almost winter and Bear was getting sleepy. But first, Bear had a story to tell... Bear found his friend Mouse, but Mouse was busy gathering seeds and didn't have time to listen to a story. Then Bear saw his friend Duck, but Duck was getting ready to fly south. What about his friend Toad? He was busy looking for a warm place to sleep. By the time Bear was through helping his friends get ready for winter, would anyone still be awake to hear his story? A charming companion to Philip and Erin Stead's Caldecott Medal winning collaboration A Sick Day for Amos McGee.

Bear Has a Story to Tell

'This house is not as good as our old house,' said Peter. 'I want to go back.' But no one heard except for Harold, the dog. Neither of them slept that night, in their room overlooking the unfamiliar woods. What Peter did next, and how he kept the dark on the other side of the bridge, make a magical story of friendship and resilience.
