It's time for bed but Dewberry Bear's room is inhabited by strange creatures--a gorilla-fump, a rattle-gato, and a jelly-phant. As he tells Mama about each creature they try to decide the best way to get rid of them. Each time Mama reminds Dewberry of a prayer he is learning. Dewberry says the prayer each time, although not exactly the right words. Finally there is no other reason to stay up. Dewberry has cleaned his room while getting rid of all the creatures and Mama says it really is time to say his prayers and go to bed. "Mama," he said. "I can never remember the right words to my prayer." "I know," said Mother Bear. "It isn't important to know the exact words. The important thing is to remember to pray." A very special book for children three to five.

Fuzz tries to collect a ?stone? from a duck?s nest and, in turn, the mama duck tries to collect him. Will Cork be able to save his friend?

Cork the muskrat knows there’s something special about today, but he just can’t figure out what it is. So he and his best friend, the possum Fuzz, go on a search to find a tree for a little “piece of quiet,” so they can think about what makes this day so special. But the first tree has too many birds, and the next has too many squirrels--they're not quiet at all! At last, when the snow begins to fall, Cork and Fuzz find the perfect place to rest their heads: under a lovely outdoor Christmas tree. In the end, Cork realizes what makes this day so special is that he is “in a beautiful place with my friend.”
