description: 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?
