A group of animals gather in a cave for a party while a bear sleeps through it all.

The mouse lights wee twigs with a small, hot spark to provide light in the damp, dark cave.

Badger says he's brought honey-nuts to share and invites the others to divvy them up, cozy down, and dig in.

Bear Snores On

Illustrations by Jane Chapman

In a cave in the woods,


in his deep, dark lair,
through the long, cold winter
sleeps a great brown bear.

Cuddled in a heap,
with his eyes shut tight,
he sleeps through the day,
he sleeps through the night.

The cold winds howl


and the night sounds growl.
But the bear snores on.

An itty-bitty mouse,
pitter-pat, tip-toe,
creep-crawls in the cave
from the fluff-cold snow.

Mouse squeaks, Too damp,


too dank, too dark.
So he lights wee twigs
with a small, hot spark.

The coals pip-pop and the wind doesn t stop.


But the bear snores on.

Two glowing eyes


sneak-peek in the den.
Mouse cries, Who s there?
and a hare hops in.

Ho, Mouse! says Hare.


Long time, no see!
So they pop white corn.
And they brew black tea.

Mouse sips wee slurps.


Hare burps big burps!

But the bear snores on.

A badger scuttles by,


sniff-snuffs at the air.
I smell yummy-yums!
Perhaps we can share?

I ve brought honey-nuts,
Badger says with a grin.
Let s divvy them up,
cozy down and dig in!

And they nibble and they munch with a


CHEW CHOMP CRUNCH!

But the bear snores on.

A gopher and a mole


tunnel up through the floor.
Then a wren and a raven
flutter in through the door!

Mole mutters, What a night!


What a storm! twitters Wren.
And everybody clutters
in the great bear s den.

They tweet and they titter.


They chat and they chitter.
But the bear snores on.

In a cave in the woods,


a slumbering bear
sleeps through the party
in his very own lair.

Hare stokes the fire


Mouse seasons stew.

Then a small pepper fleck


makes the bear..

He blows and he sneezes,


and the whole crowd freezes

And the bear


WAKES UP
BEAR GNARLS
and he SNARLS
BEAR ROARS
and he RUMBLES!
BEAR JUMPS
and he STOMPS
BEAR GROWLS
and he GRUMBLES!

You ve snuck in my lair


and you ve all had fun!
But me? I was sleeping
and
I have had none!
and he whimpers
and he moans,
he wails and he groans.

And the bear blubbers on!

Mouse squeaks, Don t


fret.
Don t fuss. Look, see?
We can pop more corn!
We can brew more tea!

Bear gulps. Bear gobbles.


He signs with delight.
Then he spins tall tales
through the blustery night.
When the sun peeks up
on a crisp, clear dawn,
Bear can t sleep

But his friends


snore on.
