This companion volume to Bear Snores On (Margaret K. McElderry Books, 2002) features the same friendly bear and his animal friends in another rhyming, rollicking story. Winter is over and Bear wakes up hungry. No matter how much he eats, he can’t satisfy his appetite. “And the bear wants more!” His friends have a surprise in store in Karma Wilson’s merry picture book. Jane Chapman’s acrylic artwork shows a forest of happy companions. (Ages 2–4)
