This delightful bear named Karhu has super organizational skills! He really wants to attend the Mukluk Ball.
Step one: get mukluks. How to do that? Earn money by selling blueberries. This enterprising bear makes extra income by giving bear hugs!
Step two: Learn how to dance. How to do that? Friends are willing to teach him different dances.
Step three: How to wake up for the dance? Enlist the help of his owl friend Zazaa to wake him up on January 15 for the Mukluk Ball--that will be in the midst of hibernation!
Everything works to plan and the Shagawa Square Dancers take Karhu back to his cave after the dance is over. They pull him on a dogsled with Zazaa leading the way! Then Karhu is back to pleasant dreams!
Loved loved loved this book. It was not seasonal for summer necessarily but a terrific "dance" story nonetheless!
***The artwork is very pretty in this book. I especially loved the end papers.
