Little Pip is so excited for Christmas! "WAKE UP!" he says to Daddy Grizzle early one winter morning. "I think it's Christmas Day!" But Daddy Grizzle tells him that it's not Christmas yet. "In fact," says Daddy Grizzle, "there are four sleeps 'til Christmas-four whole sleeps to wait." Poor Little Pip wonders how he'll ever make it, but Daddy Grizzle assures him that they still have many things to do-they need to find a tree, send Christmas cards, and much more. Will Daddy Grizzle be able to keep his little cub busy until the big day?
