Jesse Bear, what will you wear?
What will you wear in the morning!
My shirt of red
Pulled over my head
Over my head in the morning.

And so Jesse Bear starts his day. It isn't really an unusual day for a little bear, but the weather is warm and sunny and just right for all the things Jesse Bear enjoys doing -- like playing in his sandbox, chasing butterflies, and swinging in his swing.

At the end of the day, a tired Jesse Bear is ready for bed, and for wearing

Sleep in my eyes
And stars in the skies
Moon on my bed
And dreams in my head...

Lilting verse and exuberant paintings combine to make Jesse Bear's day a very special one indeed, in a book that even the youngest readers will want to return to again and again.
