Mum gives Horace his own bear-shaped cookie cutter. The resulting Ginger Bear comes to life in the night and decides to "make" some friends. The bears perform a circus that comes to a grim but hilarious end when Horace's cookie-loving dog interrupts. (Ginger Bear escapes.) Grey, ever attentive to playful illustrative detail, whips up a rambunctious, sometimes gleefully macabre treat.
