When no one comes to Bear's party on the night of the full moon, he begins singing and dancing alone, and soon everyone joins the celebration. Harley, a musician-storyteller, offers ample opportunities for audience participation, though Bear's spirited song may make readers wish the music were provided. The illustrations, appropriately dark for a nighttime story, are alive with touches of color. An author's note is included.
