This is a new edition to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the US National Park Service, with a new forward by the author. In storybook form, it can be used as a guidebook to the park. This is the tale of a child and a magic bear who become friends exploring a glorious American wilderness together. The tale is fantasy. The park and nature information is factual. Many thanks to Alan Mebane, Yellowstone’s Chief Naturalist, as well as to Jeff Foott, wildlife biologist, who checked the accuracy of the book’s nature information. Also thanks to the many children readers who helped in the editing process and who taught me more about being Friends of Bears. It is endorsed by the granddaughter of Teddy Roosevelt.
