Bear declares the crisp winter day is "perfect for it." He lumbers ("tramp tramp tramp") up the snowy mountain. His animal friends follow, including Badger ("scritchity scratchity") and others who imagine "it" is just right for them. Playful illustrations, which include a cumbersome foldout, picture the woodland friends with bear as he belly sleds down the slope, his intended mission all along.
