Description
About the Story
Chaucer was a very curious bear. His best friends, (a fox and squirrel) said they would miss him this winter. He asked why. They told him he would be sleeping. Chaucer confirmed this with his parents. When it was time for the bears’ winter nap, Chaucer stayed awake, went outside, and played in the snow with his friends. As winter turned to spring, he headed back to the cave where his parents were just waking up. He wanted to tell them all about the fun he had — but he was so tired he fell asleep!

Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
