INTRODUCTION
A LITTLE brown bear, no bigger than a house cat, that the Ranger foundnear drowning, is brought up with the orphaned fawn his children tamed,a rascally young burro, a ring-tailed cat, an owl, a tame canary, and avaliant yellow pup.
The scene is laid in the high Sierras, where trout-filled streamscascade down fragrant cedar slopes.
The author has turned natural science into story form. With theenterprising bear cub, we meet pine squirrels and painted chipmunks,the pika of the snow-clad peaks and the rattler of the sun-bakedlow-lands, the weasel and the wapiti, and have at least a glimpse ofthe cougar and the coyote.
