FOREWORD
Here are stories of the wild life of the rich woods of Oregon.
In following the adventures of Chinook, the cinnamon bear and his sister Snookie (western prototypes of the jolly black bears of New England), and of the Ranger’s Boy, the child will learn of tree mice and burrow mice, and of the little mountain pack-rats who build tepees, of those giant mousers, the bobcat and the California mountain lion, to say nothing of the bat, pika, elk, and “snowshoe rabbit,” and the ever present Douglas squirrel.
He will wander through forests of spruce and fir to the snow-clad peaks, and back along cascading rivers, as the two cubs learn of the world in which they live.
The Literary Review of the New York Evening Post has said of a black bear book: “The little bear will delight all children just because he is a ball of mischief, sagacity, awkwardness—a real bear. Allen Chaffee’s books are unusual for vivacity, humor, and truth to the characters of the no longer dumb beasts.”
