A young bear romps through his first seasons, puzzling over falling leaves ("Are you okay?") and wondering at the changing landscape as summer winds down and winter approaches. The childlike cub gets sleepy, hibernates, and awakens joyfully to spring. There are few words on each page, leaving ample white space. Pacing is well cued to the bamboo pen and watercolor pictures.
