Fiction
In the Jingle Jangle Jungle on a wet and windy day, four little friends meet a very cranky bear. They try to cheer him up by giving the bear each of their strengths (antlers, stripes and a mane) so they can seek shelter from the rain. All the bear wanted was a quiet place to sleep so sheep gave him some wool for a pillow. A rhyming book.
