Snuffles and the Bear — Roger Priddy

The fourth title in the Alphaprints picture book series is a sweet, rhyming story about a newfound friendship between Snuffles the hedgehog and Alfie the bear, which touches on the themes of the changing seasons, animal hibernation, and the fear of losing someone you love.

A chance meeting in the woods leads to a wonderful summer of fun for Snuffles and Alfie. They spend their days playing, laughing, building dens, and exploring. But when summer turns to fall, Snuffles begins to get anxious. When he goes off to hibernate, will Alfie find a new friend? Alfie just winks at him and takes Snuffles to their den -- he's turned it into a cozy place for them both to hibernate!
