In this hilarious story of theatrical hijinks, plans go awry when four
woodland friends stage a show--unless Bear can step up and save the
day!
Bear and his woodland friends are putting on a show, and there are lots
of plans to be made. Their curtains need sequins! Their hats must be
very, very tall! And their tickets have to be shiny! (No one will come
if the tickets are dull.)
Behind the scenes, shy Bear takes notes on every detail until his paws
ache. But at least he won't have to go on stage. He could NEVER do
that!
. . . Or could he?
In this uproarious tale of theatrical mishaps told with hilariously
endearing art, four woodland friends bring down the house--and have
plenty of fun along the way.
