Illustrated by
Sean Cassidy.
Hanna Bear asks her animal friends to wake her from hibernation for Christmas, but it's not an easy task. The simple story is lively, but the predictable ending is a bit of a letdown. Cassidy's long-necked Hanna Bear is occasionally awkwardly rendered, but overall the illustrations convey the spirit of the season.
