Featuring richly-coloured artwork, painted in bold acrylics, this funny story teaches the importance of the rhythms of nature It is autumn and as many forest animals are settling down to hibernate, others take up their instruments to play a special winter lullaby. The forest orchestra is organized by the Dormouse, who heads off to sleep, reminding the others that under no circumstances must they wake Mr. Bear. All is quiet until a group of merry-making wolves crash into the forest—they don't care about Mr. Bear's sleep, they just want to party! Their joie de vivre is infectious, and it's not long before the forest orchestra have swapped their flutes and harps for guitars and speakers. It's all tremendous fun until a dark, bear-shaped shadow looms over the forest.
