Determined to find out what Santa Claus looks like, a little bear sleeps as much as he can before winter hibernation, wakes himself up with his mother's alarm clock, and sets out into the snowy countryside.

From the illustrator of the best-selling board book, I Love You to the Moon and Back, this festive hardcover picture book celebrates the joy of family at Christmas. There's a chill in the air and frost on the trees, and Little Bear has something to say: "I love wrapping and ribbons and balls of bright string, And gift tags, and glitter - the joy that they bring! I love giving presents, and getting them too, But the thing that I love more than Christmas is--" But Little Bear keeps getting interrupted by the mail carrier, the oven timer, the carolers... Can you guess what Little Bear loves even more than Christmas?

After taking a walk on Christmas Eve while their freshly baked gingerbread cools, Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear arrive home to encounter another "trespasser," who does not have golden hair but wears a red suit and leaves presents.
