Little Bear’s Treasures

Little Bear is a finder of treasures. He goes through his day finding wonderful things such as a button, a very useful clothespin, a pretty feather, a wad of fluff, a cozy hidey-hole, and more. It seems everywhere he goes, he finds a new treasure. But when Little Bear tries to show his treasures to his woodland friends, none of them seem to understand what great treasures they are. In fact, they all seem to think his treasures are just junk. But Little Bear knows they are treasures. He just wants someone who shares his vision, and that is when he meets Little Bird. Little Bird appreciates the treasures Little Bear finds, and they enjoy finding treasure together. They find a tree bark boat, crown for each other, a furry rock, but most of all, they find friendship.
