Little Bear, Barney, likes everything to be just right. He always has to have the yummiest porridge, the comfiest chair and the snuggliest blanket. So one night, when Barney cant sleep, he goes out in search of the very best bed in the forest.
But Fox's underground bed is too dark . . .
Hedgehog's leafy bed is too rustly . . .
