Sissy Buttons is sassy, smart, and bossy, and can do almost anything. The only thing she&&&^s not good at doing are the things she doesn&&&^t want to do! After a tough day playing with her teddy bears in the garden, Sissy&&&^s mother asks her to clean up. Reluctant to do so, Sissy falls asleep instead. But in her dreams she finds herself in charge of a real teddy bears picnic. The bears are misbehaving, and unless she can persuade them to try a little harder, then everything will go horribly wrong. Sissy finally convinces the bears that they can do anything they want -- if only they try.
