The Bear That Wasn't (New York Review Books Children's Collection)

â€œOnce upon a time, in fact it was Tuesday,â€ the Bear went into the woods to settle in for his long winter nap. But when he awoke what had happened? The trees were gone, the grass was gone, the flowers were gone, and in their place were buildings, cars, a fenced-off courtyard. The Bear had no idea that he was in the middle of a factory. â€œGet back to work!â€ a man yelled out of the blue.

â€œI donâ€™t work here,â€ said the Bear, â€œIâ€™m a bear.â€ The man laughed and laughed. â€œFine excuse for a man to keep from doing any workâ€”saying heâ€™s a bear.â€ And so it began and so it went, with the Bear protesting his bearness all the way from the Third Vice President to the First, and no one willing to believe that he wasnâ€™t just a silly man in a fur coat who needed a shave.

How the bear endured and how he finally prevailed are the subject of this
delightful modern fairy taleâ€”beautifully illustrated with the authorâ€™s inventive line drawingsâ€”about sticking up for yourself, no matter how many Foremen, General Managers, Vice Presidents, or even Company Presidents stand in your way.
