Bear Wants to Sing
Description
A bear finds a ukulele in the woods. It makes a nice sound - PLINK! - and inspires him to write his own song. His friend Mouse would love to hear it. But Bear isn't the only animal in the forest to find musical inspiration that day, and Snake, Crow and Tortoise keep taking his turn to perform. When they finally give him the opportunity and meet his song with less enthusiasm than he'd like, the discouraged bear shelves his music career forever... but the kindness, empathy and appreciation of his best friend will prove that his art deserves recognition and can even inspire others.
