A Bed for Bear

(4) K-3 Bernard doubts he can hibernate in his crowded home cave with the other bears distracting him. He tests different animals' beds, but they're not satisfactory either. Returning home when things are quieter, Bernard realizes his bed suits him after all. Though the plot is too familiar, McFarland does include some amusing twists in his Jon Klassen–esque digitally assembled watercolor illustrations.
