Little Bear, Barney, insists that everything must be just right—the yummiest porridge, the comfiest chair, and the snuggliest blanket. When he cannot sleep one night, Barney ventures into the forest searching for the very best bed. He discovers that Fox's underground bed is too dark, Hedgehog's leafy bed is too rustly, and Mouse's grassy nest is too small!
