How to Hibernate. From the 1952 book Animal Fair, by the Provensens.

Illustration titled "How to Sleep Through the Winter (Hibernate)" depicting a bear with a red scarf. The sequence includes six steps: 1) Find a comfortable cave, showing the bear walking towards trees. 2) Make sure it is vacant, with a cat peeking from the cave. 3) Lay in a good supply of firewood, as the bear saws logs. 4) Stock up on goodies for snacks, showing the bear pointing at a shelf of jars. 5) Be sure the bed is comfortable, with the bear testing a bed. 6) Set the clock for spring, as the bear adjusts a clock.
