The Old Man of the Mountains, a huge imposing grizzly bear who becomes her mate and then leaves Honey Paw to seek her food and fatten herself up through summer and fall in preparation for winter. Deep in her den she gives birth to a small cub-so small it is dwarfed by her own paw and claws. This is a beautifully illustrated story of the moments in lives of a mother bear and her cub with the dangers and the delights. A wonderful way to introduce children to the wilderness with its untamed animals and vistas. 40 pages Ages 5-9
