A Winter's Nap

After learning about hibernation, George decides that the best way to spend the cold winter months is the way that bears do it—fast asleep! But first it’s too bright in his room; then it’s not cave-like enough; and then it’s too loud. When George finally does get to sleep, he wakes up to discover that he slept only one night, not the whole winter! Will George be convinced that winter can be a wonderland of fun after all?

Includes a question-and-answer activity on hibernation as well as a craft project to make your own teddy bear cave.
