Illustrated by
Tim Warnes.
On Christmas Eve, Little Bear keeps thinking he sees Santa, but each time it's just Big Bear sampling treats or Mommy Bear stuffing stockings. The family sleeps by the tree so they can "all see Santa," but while they never spy him, the final spread assures us that "Santa saw them." The story's gentle suspense is well matched by the soft illustrations.
