Book excerpt: Winter won’t end in Bear Country—and snow just might stop the Easter Bunny in its tracks. When Papa Bear goes off to cut wood in the forest, Brother Bear wishes he had other cubs to play with. Bill Bunny, Finerty Frog, and Fred Firefly are just fair-weather friends. To make matters worse, it doesn’t look like this gray and gloomy winter will ever end, especially when Boss Bunny—who’s in charge of Easter—suddenly quits his job. How will Papa get his jelly beans? What about rainbows and baby robins and the miracle of new life? Without Easter, how will Mama Bear unveil her big surprise? There must be a way to get the seasons to change again. Can Brother Bear help bring spring back to Bear Country?
