A Story for Bear - Paperback

by Dennis Haseley (Author), Jim LaMarche (Illustrator)

When a young bear finds a scrap of an old letter, he is so curious about the mysterious marks that he searches out their source--a cabin in the woods. There he meets a young woman and is mesmerized by the sound of her voice. Though he cannot understand her words, he returns every day to hear the woman's stories of sailors, goddesses, and far-off lands.

Dennis Haseley's magical fantasy and Jim LaMarche's luminous illustrations together celebrate the joy of reading.
