Bear wants a best friend; he has plenty of friends but seemingly he’s the only one without a best friend. What Bear does have however, is a special talent for topiary. So, as he snippety snips and clippety-clips to create special tree pictures for each of his pals, Bear is deep in thought pondering on the special quality of each one. His artful snippings are so successful that he is soon inundated by requests for personal portraits, though there is still no sign of that elusive best friend. Then, just when things become overwhelming, Bear hears a small voice behind him, an ursine voice no less and its owner has another special quality: ‘Twirly, swirly, curly, cuddly, huggly, snuggly hair’ – just perfect for a best friend!
