Book

The adventures of Muskwa / by Jerry and Rose Hale ; illustrated by Jan Sovak.

Hale, Jerry, (author.). Hale, Rose, (author.). Sovak, Jan, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"This story, written for young and old alike, is based on a true event. Muskwa, a mature grizzly bear, is an uninvited visitor to Jerry and Rose Hale's home in Iskut, Northern British Columbia. Grizzlies are truly the Kings of the wild. These awe inspiring animals freely roam the beautiful mountain ranges in British Columbia, Canada."-- from publisher.

Springtime has finally come to wilderness. Muskwa the great Grandpa Bear finally wakes up. He's very hungry and weak, too weak even to run and catch a tempting marmot. Finally Muskwa's keen nose smells food. This particular smell brings back memories of the wonderful food he found in a hunter's camp when he was a young bear -- he must follow that smell! The path leads to Muskwa's almost 'Three Bears' tale of food adventures.
