Brave Bitsy and the Bear — Angela Mcallister

When Bitsy falls out of her girl's pocket in the woods, she is lost and all alone -- until she meets gentle Bear, who helps Bitsy find her way back home before he hibernates for the winter. But Bear is already very tired, and only Bitsy's hopeful songs keep him awake on their journey. Once Bitsy is safe at home, she worries: Will Bear fall asleep before reaching his cave?

Irresistible illustrations capture this warm, touching story of quiet courage and loyal friendship.
