Summers with the Bears: Six Seasons inthe North Woods

by Jack Becklund

Thumbs Up.

Becklund tells the story of how he and his wife fed and befriended, for six summers, the bears in their yard in Northern Minnesota. This is not a scientific or sociological tale. Mr Becklund and his wife love animals and started feeding birds and other small animals in their yard, and when t he bears started coming to eat, too, making frineds with them was just a natural progression.

There are levels at which befriending a wild animal bothers me, but it was a sweet story, well told.
