A small but effervescent overnight guest tries the patience of a curmudgeonly bear who needs absolute quiet to fall asleep.

While Johnny waits for his mother to finish her shopping, he feels that so much time has passed that he has become an old man.

Celebrating Christmas for the first time, Bear and his friend Mouse have a party, but whenever Bear comes back from the kitchen with more treats Mouse has vanished in search of a present.

Bear's efforts to keep out visitors to his house are undermined by a very persistent mouse.

Although he sees no need for more books to read, Bear agrees to accompany Mouse to the library.
