When a young bear finds a scrap of an old letter, he is so curious about
the mysterious marks that he searches out their source--a cabin in the
woods. There he meets a young woman and is mesmerized by the sound of
her voice. Though he cannot understand her words, he returns every day
to hear the woman's stories of sailors, goddesses, and far-off lands.
Dennis Haseley's magical fantasy and Jim LaMarche's luminous
illustrations together celebrate the joy of reading.
