Bear had never had a real Christmas... Clearly, the most important thing was pickles.

Get ready for Christmas and the best kind of surprises as grumpy Bear and eager Mouse return in a funny tale full of festive cheer and friendship.

One frosty night, Bear hears a tap, tap, tapping on his front door. Merry Christmas! cries Mouse, who has arrived for a Christmas party. Bear has never had one before, but hes certain that pickles are essential, along with the reading of a long and difficult poem. The problem is, whenever Bear comes back from the kitchen with treats, Mouse has vanished only to be found, small and grey and guilty-eyed, scurrying under the bed or searching the cupboard. Will there be a present for Mouse Even just a tiny one
