The Town Bear

Carol J. Cooper

Description

This book tells the amazing true story of a young bear's coming of age and the incredible experience he had, which in turn touched the lives and hearts of so many!

Deep within the beautiful rolling hills and forests of the Ozarks, a mother bear creates a safe, cozy den in the rocky cavities and gives birth to three tiny cubs. As she protects them from danger, the mama bear begins teaching her cubs how to survive in the wilderness.

When one of the cubs, whose fur is a light cinnamon color, ventures outside of his safe environment, he soon finds himself in a busy, rural town on the southern border of Missouri. After the yearling with a gentle soul wanders dangerously close to several homes atop a high, rocky bluff, he suddenly tumbles into a predicament with an unexpected outcome that inspires many in the town and around the world.

The Town Bear shares the true story of a young bear who accidently wanders into a rural town and finds himself in an unusual predicament.

Acknowledgments

With tremendous gratitude, I would like to thank Deputies Curt Dobbs and Winston Collins, as well as Jerry Kiger from the Missouri State Conservation Department, for their quick response, amazing help, and tremendous compassion that they shared on the day the bear showed up in my garage. You guys were AWESOME!
I would like to thank Manuel Hambelton for his consent in the use of the photo that he took of the bear attempting to climb back up the rock cliff, after being chased off by the pack of dogs.
A huge thank you goes out to Kenna Kenworthy for her editorial skills, support, and encouragement with this project.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to my family and friends who knew how much this bear touched my heart and strongly encouraged me to put into writing what a meaningful moment this experience was.
