Description: A wee story about wee people by this British author-artist centers its small circle of events around Katinka, a woodsman's daughter, and her shy friend Jokle, a bear cub. At just about the same time, they find an abandoned hut, but in making it into her own play home, Katinka frightens Jokle away. Through coaxing she makes him into a friend and a pet to take care of, and they spend a happy Christmas together.
