A little bear doesn’t want to hibernate so he takes a journey. He discovers New York City, the city that never sleeps. He has fun exploring the various tourist attractions, so much fun that he finds himself getting sleepy.

This is a fun book if you want to highlight New York City. The illustrations are cute (except all the clowns, ahhh!). If you are looking for hibernation stories, I prefer Froggy Gets Dressed by Jonathan London.
