My husband fondly remembers his father reading aloud from the pages of "The Bears of Blue River". In turn, my husband read the stories to Christina, Tim, Sam, Little John and Liz.. We are passing on copies of "Bears" to each of our children in the hope that they too, will share these wonderful stories with their own children.

Review of THE BEARS OF BLUE RIVER
This was a great book! I recieved it quickly, in very good shape, and for a reasonable price. I would give both this book and the vender I purchased from, the highest marks! I will do business with them the next time I'm in a market for books.
Thanks so much!

beautiful book
This book was just as described. I ordered it for my father who remembered it and wanted a memory from his childhood. He said it made his day when it arrived, evocking many happy memories of days gone by.
