Program Description:

Let it snore! Let it snore! Let it snore! Tiptoe into the wild world of animals who snooze and snore through the cold winter. Based on Karma Wilson's award-winning book, "Bear Snores On", we'll discover why some animals hibernate - and some don't - and why they can be grumpy if you wake 'em up. Program does include live animals, but no bears!
