Description

Bear has been waiting since dawn. "I'm waiting for Goliath," he tells everyone. "Goliath is coming! He's my best friend ...He'll definitely show up. You'll see!" Bear waits patiently for his friend. The robins fly to the south and the first snow falls. When Bear awakes from a long sleep, he hears a noise like a hand sliding slowly across paper. Goliath is coming! But his identity is a big surprise.

Reviews
