When it's time to hibernate, Bear (Room for Bear) frets that his duck family will have fun without him. The text reports on his attempts to fight sleep; the art provides the comedy (e.g., "Bear tried to think of ways to stay awake" shows three ducklings physically keeping Bear's eyes open). Alongside the humor is a subtle message about being true to oneself.
