The leaves on the forest trees are turning from shades of summer to shades of autumn. Winter is coming and Baxter the bear cub will be facing his first hibernation. Baxter has a great fear that he will suffer nightmares during his long winter nap. He confides in his friends, Harry, a butterfly, and Barry, a bird. Together they help Baxter through his struggle. Baxter's Hibernation is sure to entertain while teaching the value of trust and cooperation. This is a book to be cherished by children and their parents alike. Michelle M.
