This book is delightful!!! My daughter and I first heard it at storytime at our library and enjoyed it so much that we came home and bought a copy. The story line is cute and the pictures are very engaging. The little bear "Beany" wants desperately to sleep yet stays awake to help his little friend squirrel "Scamp" find the nuts he had buried to get through the winter. The silly adventures they go through following Scamp's treasure map and the way they are able to find their way home even though they are hopelessly lost are fun for children to figure out as the story is being read.The little fireside picnic (after the nuts are discovered under the mat outside Scamps door) is a cute celebration of friendship and a perfect treat for Beany before his winter nap. All in all, a fun book for child and parent alike. One to read again and again!
