"Bear is so tired! All he wants is to hibernate in his cozy cave, but sneaky Fox has his own plans for the space! "A great big bear like you," said Fox, "so big and strong and brave, a creature so magnificent... deserves a bigger cave." Fox and a very sleepy Bear set off to explore other options. The train tunnel is too loud, even if the double doors are nice. The hollow tree's high ceilings are great but the bats are not, The oceanfront option has great views -- great, but damp ones. Could it be that sleepy Bear's own cozy cave is the perfect one after all?"--

More bears! / by Nesbitt, Kenn.; Cummings, Troy,illustrator.;
Once upon a time there was a story. It was a lovely story with absolutely NO BEARS in it-not a SINGLE BEAR anywhere. Then one day...MORE BEARS! KENN NESBITT is possibly the funniest and most sought-after children's poet writing today. When he's not writing, podcasting, updating his website (poetry4kids.com), or visiting schools sharing his wacky brand of humor with kids across America, Kenn can be found cuddling his collection of stuffed bears. He seriously cannot get enough of bears. Or chickens. TROY CUMMINGS has been drawing goofy animals pretty much nonstop since kindergarten. His illustrations have appeared in newspapers, in magazines, on websites, on frozen fish stick packages, and in hospital waiting rooms. He hibernates in Greencastle, Indiana, with his wife and cubs.

The Reptile Club / by Fergus, Maureen.; Ellis, Elina.;
Rory just knew that there were other kids out there who shared his passion for reptiles--and he couldn't wait to meet them! He starts a Reptile Club at school, but to his astonishment it's not his schoolmates who attend the first meeting, but a crocodile, an anaconda and a gecko! As the four of them get to know each other--each explaining their unique talents and sharing interesting reptile facts--the kids in Rory's school see how much fun they're having and decide to join the club, too. Never in the history of the world have mammals and reptiles gotten along so well. At every meeting, the Reptile Club does something fun and different. They even come up with a secret password and hand signal. But one blustery day in late autumn, the reptiles announce that it's time for them to go--they need to either hibernate or head to a warmer climate. Rory's friends, now reptile enthusiasts, continue with the club after they're gone, but it just isn't the same. So Rory, who loves dinosaurs almost as much as he loves reptiles, comes up with an idea for a new club...LSC

Needlemouse / by O'Connor, Jane,1972-author.;
"Time to come out of hibernation ... Sylvia Penton has been hibernating for years, it's no wonder she's a little prickly ... Sylvia lives alone, dedicating herself to her job at the local university. On weekends, she helps out at a local hedgehog sanctuary because it gives her something to talk about on Mondays - and it makes people think she's nicer than she is. Only Sylvia has a secret: she's been in love with her boss, Professor Lomax, for over a decade now, and she's sure he's just waiting for the right time to leave his wife. Meanwhile she stores every crumb of his affection and covertly makes trouble for anyone she feels gets in his way. But when a bright new PhD candidate catches the Professor's eye, Sylvia's dreams of the fairy tale ending she has craved for so long, are soon in tatters, driving her to increasingly desperate measures and an uncertain future. Sylvia might have been sleep walking through her life but things are about to change now she's woken up ..."--Provided by publisher.
