On a stormy night, while Bear snoozes soundly, Mouse and a few other forest animals congregate in Bear's den for shelter. Soon they're eating popcorn, drinking tea, and having a party while "the bear snores on." The rhyming text is forced at times, but the vibrant acrylic paintings are engaging. This paper-over-board edition is notable for its bargain price.
