*Highly recommend.
A rare find-a well written fantasy for older elementary that is wholesome!
Growly embarks on his three month adventure that all Bears in his village experience at his age. When he is about to fill up his jar from the Honey Well, a bird that has been seen a couple times before, communicates with him that a valued member of the Bear community is in danger. What is more startling, this member, CJ, had disappeared before Growly was born. Growly has grown up hearing stories about this adventurous, intelligent bear and has grown to love him like a family member. Growly must make a quick decision-to ignore the bird and be safe; or follow the bird and possibly never see his family or village again.
Exciting moments and sweet moments of friendship, honor and adventure in one story!!
Three books in the series:
1. Begin
2. Widewater
3. Morning

Perfect for reading aloud to a mature preschooler through third grade. Fourth-Sixth graders can read on their own. Of course, some advanced third graders could read it to themselves too.
Unfortunately our public library system does not own this series. The only way to purchase it is through Amazon or a book store. Barnes and Noble only has the third one available to purchase.
