In this prizewinning story, when Woodsy, an orphan bear, couldn’t stay alone in his national forest, a nice zookeeper brought him to Parkland Zoo. Woodsy loved zoo visitors, especially children, but missed his woods and forest friends. And then one day a young zookeeper didn’t latch the cage tight and Woodsy became a Wonder Bear with special adventures. Then he had to decide. Could he keep having adventures and freedom? Or find ways to keep zoo visitors happy, too? *“This fanciful tale of Woodsy the Wonder Bear is a delightful story that will captivate children of all ages, including adults. Accompanied by excellent artwork, Woodsy is sure to become a favorite among my grandchildren–Patricia Bradley, author of the Logan Point romantic suspense series published by Revell Books This beautifully illustrated, whimsical tale, told in equally colorful word pictures, will delight children of all ages and the childlike in heart as well.—Susan Sampsen, Med, EDS, Reading SpecialistDelores Topliff holds graduate degrees in English and history and teaches in a Minnesota university.
