Review Detail

Bear loves fall, from the chill in the air to the tumble of the leaves, so he is very excited to go on a picnic with his friend Mouse. When Mouse doesn't come to his house at the appointed time, Bear isn't happy, and sets on to have a picnic on his own. When the wind up ends his basket, he worries that perhaps the tiny Mouse has been blown away. When he finds his friend, Mouse is sitting dejectedly on a stump and tells Bear that he is sad about the flowers and the sun having gone away. Bear tries to good naturedly find positives in the season, like how much fun maple helicopters are, and even pretends to have wings made out of branches, but Mouse is even sadder when it starts to rain. Deciding to go mope at home, Bear makes a dramatic exit... but slips in the mud. Mouse laughs, but Bear is not amused. After nice warm baths at home, followed by tea and pickles, the two settle down to be deeply sad by the fire, but seem to be enjoying themselves a tiny bit.
