In this German import, Bertie Bear wants to wake up in the middle of winter so that he can meet Santa. Large illustrations show the bear's adventures, as he gets lost in the snow and is rescued by Father Christmas himself. Although the text is rather long for a picture book, Bertie, Mrs. Bear, and their wolf friends will appeal to young children.
