Bear's Berry Christmas is a lift-the-flap adaptation of the 1999 two-part special "A Berry Bear Christmas". The book features a total of 52 flaps to lift.
In this story, Bear and the kids find themselves getting everything ready for Christmas. They suddenly hear a howling behind the kitchen door of the Big Blue House and find Jack the Dog. He's invited to spend the holidays there. Later, Pip and Pop join in Bear's favorite holiday tradition --- hunting for the winter berry. They find it and make a wish for Jack to have a home. It just so happens that Doc Hogg has a doghouse that isn't being used.
