Something’s Wrong! A Bear, a Hare, and Some Underwear

The dreaded “I’m out in public only wearing my underwear!” dream comes true for a bear one day and he just doesn’t realize why all the other animals in the forest are giving him such strange looks. It’s not just a lesson on problem-solving, but a glimpse of allyship when the bear’s puzzled friend Anders struggles openly with his reaction and then comes to boldly support his friend. Hilarity will ensue wherever underwear stories — and the very mention of them — are welcome.
