Lauren B. read at storytime

"Harold loves to wear his woolly hat...When Harold wears his woolly hat, he knows he is a special bear - different from all the other bears."

But then a crow snatches Harold's woolly hat! Harold tries to bargain with the crow and to make trades, but nothing works. When Harold at last climbs up to crow's nest, he sees three baby birds sleeping cozily inside his hat, which he of course allows them to keep. "Even without my woolly hat, I am still a very special bear," he reassures himself - and the reader agrees.
